“Glory Be,” the enchanting single by Jeán et Joie, invites listeners on a melodic journey of introspection and emotion. With soothing guitar riffs, emotive vocals, and a serene ambiance, the song explores themes of camaraderie, longing, and the desire to find solace amidst life’s storms.
Based in the heart of Los Angeles, Jeán et Joie emerges as a poignant musical endeavor birthed by the creative spirit of Grey Jeán, a gifted artist and songwriter. Infused with a blend of mournful folk melodies and an underlying hopeful essence, their compositions paint a canvas of emotion through simple yet evocative instrumentals and poetic storytelling. A thematic tapestry woven from celestial wonder, the beauty of the natural world, and a profound connection to personal experiences resonates across each of their soul-stirring tracks. Grey’s musical journey sprouted amidst the harmonious backdrop of their childhood home, where the melodies of three talented sisters intertwined in angelic harmonies and resonant hymns rooted in their Catholic upbringing. Nurtured by this musical environment, Grey’s expressive voice became a vessel for their own compositions, helping them navigate the challenges of adolescence while dwelling in Mountain Home, Arkansas.
As time carried their musical prowess onward, Grey’s melodic journey transitioned from choirs to open mic nights and eventually blossomed into captivating live performances, even amidst the constraints of virtual concerts during the Covid-19 pandemic. The year 2021 marked a pivotal juncture as Grey contributed piano pieces to the San Diego punk blues ensemble, Teeming Dreams, showcasing their diverse musical abilities. The following year saw the birth of Jeán et Joie, a musical debut showcasing Grey’s personal growth and artistic evolution. Collaborating with Gabrielle Néla, their fiancé, and the skilled duo of drummer Ikaika and guitarist Dash from LA’s Flamango Bay, Grey formed a musical synergy that resonated deeply. After embarking on a transformative journey to North Carolina, the very woods and forests that once nurtured Grey’s musical identity, the ensemble is carving out a new presence while working on their upcoming EP titled “Bramble,” anticipated to release in 2023, with melodious preludes such as “Glory Be” and “Fried Rice.”
