Released on November 1, 2024, “Enough” by Jamie Shew is a vibrant and funky anthem that blends jazzy grooves with bluesy undertones, offering a humorous yet insightful take on the chaos of modern life. Hailing from Los Angeles, Jamie—a skilled vocalist, arranger, and songwriter—tackles the overlapping stressors of political seasons, strained relationships, and parenting with clever lyrics and an infectious melody.
“Enough” sets a lively groove from the start with ticking beats and playful instrumentals with Kait Dunton’s Hammond B3 organ and Rhodes, Mike Scott’s guitar, Lyman Medeiros’ bass, and Mark Ferber’s drums.
Jamie’s thick, rich voice carries the track with witty, effortlessly flowing lyrics and a feisty and confident tone. Her performance exudes chill composure and unbothered power, creating a striking blend of style and substance.
As the song progresses, Jamie’s voice builds in intensity, soaring with vocally stylistic and playful surges and an intriguing vibrato that writhes and bends, adding dynamism to the track’s vigor. Her vocal agility keeps the listener hooked as the music crescendos, culminating in an irresistible climax that is both catchy and thought-provoking.
This song is for those who enjoy the classics, James Brown’s “Get Up” and Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” as well as contemporary artists like Laila Biali and Lawrence.
The track serves as a reminder to find joy amidst life’s madness, offering a therapeutic groove for troubled times. “Enough” is a standout single from Jamie’s forthcoming album, Spicy, Classy, (and a little) Sassy, set to release later in 2024. Stay tuned, to get more of Jamie’s inventive musicality.
