Jean is also going on tour in less than a month.

Jean Dawson has been thoroughly impressive for a lot of reasons. Out of all the qualities that he possesses, you could easily argue that his versatility is his greatest asset. His ability to hop around different genres without a surface-level approach is quite remarkable. It adds some wonder and mystery to what he's going to present on a new single or project. Speaking of which, the 28-year-old multi-talent is working toward releasing the latter as we speak. In mid-July, he posted a moody portrait of himself onto IG with a vague "πŸ’½*" caption. Fans were immediately begging for an album in the comments, and not too long after, their wishes would become reality. About a month later, Jean would go on to announce that, along with a tour. "Id like to formally announce β€œπ’’π“π’Ύπ“‚π“‚π‘’π“‡ π’ͺ𝒻 π’’π‘œπ’Ήβ€ album 3 title and North American tour dates. Can’t wait to see you <33".

Then, just four days after the reveal (August 16), he dropped the now lead single "Die For Me" which featured Lil Yachty. Now, this weekend, Jean Dawson is back with its second in "Houston". The previous track was more of a hip-hop/R&B/alternative sounding cut. But in typical Dawson fashion, the sounds are much different. "Houston" sees him take on an 80s synth-pop atmosphere and it sounds heavenly. It's got that late-night drive vibe, and the lyrical content definitely has some allusions to God. He cleverly uses the phrase "Houston we have a problem" and applies it to him taking off into space to find peace with the big guy above.

"Houston" - Jean Dawson

Quotable Lyrics:

Standing on my tip toes
High as gods hands
I'm just trying to kiss the moon
I'm this close high to Gods hands
Ground control to lift off
Houston, I'm the problem and
I'm never coming back

Some of those include Bronny James's draft stock, a multitude of angles swirling around the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, as well as Diddy's arrest and lawsuits. Separate from the headlines that everyone wants to hear about, he was fortunate enough to help spread Zaytoven's current thoughts at the time around mid-December in 2023.

Having the chance to express his excitement indirectly about what he thinks our readers should be checking out/revisiting grows his passion for writing that much more.
