‘here’ is a pop song that showcases the diverse influences of its creator, Jeanne Pas Jeanne. Her influences are as diverse as they are captivating, encompassing elements of pop, electronic, folk, and concert music. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Billie Eilish, David Bowie and Alt-J, the track exudes a relatable yet unique energy, with a rich atmosphere and dreamy vocals that are immediately captivating.

A mantra song with repetitive harmony, this song explores the mind of someone trying to find some ounce of solace within themselves. Her soothing vocals pair perfectly with the serene nature of the piano. There’s something deeply comforting about this song, despite the music’s gloomy atmosphere and lyrics. Her atypical and personal style is the result of an intuitive writing and composition process guided by exploration, integrity in her feelings, and a quest for identity. The result is a charming and enchanting musical odyssey that is both demanding and enchanting, with electronic sounds mixed with the acoustics of the piano and choirs that intertwine with sounds taken from everyday life.

The song is the first single from Jeanne’s upcoming EP ‘places’, which promises to take listeners on a psychological journey through five songs framed by an intro and outro. Each song on the EP represents a different place – both physical and psychological – that Jeanne seeks to capture and translate through her music.
