Jean – Spring Breakers
Hotly tipped indie-pop siren Jean returns with her latest single & video ‘Spring Breakers’ via APOLLO Distribution, a shimmering, nostalgic slice of alt-pop that invites listeners into the intriguing world she is building. With mellow, dreamy vocals and a lush, ethereal production style, Jean leans deeper into her romantic, vintage sound, marked by her own experiences and an unmistakable flair.
Jean shares the story behind ‘Spring Breakers’… “I had a rough year where nothing felt fun anymore. Someone sent me this video about not giving up, and reconnecting with how I fell in love with creating in the first place. So I went back to the way I started – in bed, not chasing perfection, my crappy microphone, Urban Outfitters headphones and an attitude of ‘make sure you’re having fun.’
‘Spring Breakers’ came out of that. It’s bratty, dreamy, messy – kind of me in sonic form. I remember watching the film when I was younger and not getting it at all. Then I watched it again a few years later and thought – first of all God. James Franco is so hot. Then, I love their neon bikinis. I want a balaclava. I wish I was that brave, that mental. I sort of am.
It’s a song about detaching from whatever version of yourself felt stuck or bored, and slipping into a new one, even if it only lasts a week. It’s about crashing out and calling it healing.”
On ‘Spring Breakers’, Jean sings, “I wish my life was like Spring Breakers”, channeling the cinematic allure of the 2012 Harmony Korine film Spring Breakers. The track combines playful, cleverly crafted lyrics with lo-fi textures and rich pop sensibilities, offering listeners a visual, immersive experience that feels like stepping into a daydream.
Blending classic influences with modern aesthetics, Jean’s unique sonic palette and visual storytelling set her apart from the alt-pop crowd. With each release, she continues to build momentum and a distinct artistic identity, bolstered by upcoming live shows, visual rollouts, and a clear, creative vision.
