Montell Fish shares debut album JAMIE via Lord’s Child / Virgin Music
Montell Fish, the 24-year-old New York-based singer-songwriter who’s been captivating listeners with his ethereal voice and impassioned lovelorn lyricism, has released his debut album, JAMIE. Spanning 10-tracks, JAMIE is an intimate retelling of the paramount experiences in Montell’s life and a welcomed expansion of his crooning and velvety DIY sound. The haunting track “Last Dance” finds Montell bringing the depths of his anxieties to the surface and waxing poetic about a longing for meaningful connections with his partner over drifting strings. JAMIE highlights Montell’s self-made instrumentation and songwriting at itsbest––producing piercing and sincere cuts like “Darling”. JAMIE is an intricate collection of Montell Fish’s deepest recollections and reflections––in the words of Montell:
“This album is about the beginning stages of grief because I went through this album, and even still think about when I’m gonna die––is it gonna be when I’m young, today, tomorrow? So there is this anxious feeling in a lot of the music and a terror of the end and it’s symbolized in a breakup, it’s symbolized in me and this girl and things coming to an end but I just realized as I was writing it that this is so much more. This is my childhood and I always had a fear of death and a religious trauma of me going to hell––it’s the beginning of the stages of that. It’s denial in isolation.”
As noted by Ones To Watch, “Spanning multiple disciplines and blending new age gospel and soul with lush electronic-infused soundscapes, the rising artist [Montell Fish] speaks to a new generation of creatives who truly feel limitless in scope.” His smash-hit, “Fall In Love With You.” (150M+ Streams) highlights his off-the-cuff and heartfelt songwriting over the waning instrumentation. After a string of highly successful singles, including “Talk 2 Me” (70M+ Streams) and “Destroy Myself For You” (50M+ Streams), Montell Fish is giving us the full-scale of his contemplative perspective, methodically crafted production, and holistic tie with his faith on his debut album JAMIE.
604Blizzy, a fast-rising star in today’s hip hop, and Lil Jjay, another emerging star, link up to promote the new project, 604$tunna, with a new visual for their latest collaboration, “3AM.”
Available now on Double Up Entertainment, “3AM” shows the two new stars hitting the city in the freshest wardrobe with a pocket full of big faces and big boy rides. The two trade verses filled with slick talking, bravado, and warning of being the next big acts in today’s music. “3AM” is the perfect origin point for newfound fans of the two stars as they ascend to new heights and 604Blizzy’s album ascends to one of the hottest projects of 2023.
604$tunna is an eight-track collaboration project that features RJ Lamont, Al, and Intense. Along with “3AM,” the project includes other breakout tracks such as “Pourin’ Up In $icily,” “Triple Threat,” and “Grey Cup.” The new project follows 604Blizzy’s 2021 collaboration album, First Take with Intense.
From an early age, 604Blizzy immersed himself in the world of hip-hop, initially captivated by Tupac during his kindergarten years. His journey led him to develop a deep appreciation for Pimp C from UGK, as well as legendary figures in Houston rap and California’s G-funk and gangster rap scenes, including Spice 1 and Death Row Records. The culmination of these influences is evident in 604Blizzy’s music, a dynamic fusion of trap sounds heavily influenced by the Detroit scene.
