jem wax – Annual Leave

Following the release of her neo-soul-leaning love ballad ‘In My Corner’, London-based artist and producer jem wax unveils her latest EP Annual Leave via APOLLO Distribution.

Annual Leave presents a musically rich and emotionally resonant project-blending soul, jazz, and pop influences with jem wax’s distinctive vocal style and introspective lyricism. Co-produced with James Berkley from Yakul(2017-2024), the project explores the emotional terrain of young adulthood: self-awareness, the search for authentic connection, and the lingering doubts caused by past experiences.

Track list:

1. Annual Leave

2. In My Corner

3. Small

4. New Version

Led by dreamy new singles ‘Small’ and ‘New Version’, Jem’s latest project unfolds as a soothing, soulful, and immersive collection of songs. With rich instrumentation and a clear sense of emotional depth, she delivers a body of work that places her confidently within the thriving neo-soul and jazz-influenced space – a scene she is fast finding her place in.

The release comes at an exciting moment for jem wax, who will headline at The Pheasantry (PizzaExpress Live) on October 11th, 2025 – a stage graced by the likes of Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse, Annie Lennox, NAO, and Jacob Collier.

With Annual Leave, jem wax solidifies her place as one of London’s most promising genre-blending talents to watch
