Jae Stephens – Kiss It

Today, R&B singer-songwriter, Jae Stephens, drops her new single “Kiss It” via Raedio/Def Jam Recordings.

With her percolating vocals and clever lyricism, Jae Stephens is on a mission to bring fun back to R&B. The rising singer-songwriter plans the next chapter of her crusade, announcing SELLOUT II, her next project, coming soon. The follow-up to last September’s SELLOUT EP, the upcoming EP builds upon Jae’s effortless blend of old and new sounds, injecting them with her uniquely cheeky perspective on modern love. Home to the recent singles “SMH” and “That’s My Baby,” SELLOUT II arrives this summer via Raedio/Def Jam.

Along with the announcement of SELLOUT II, Jae shares “Kiss It,” a new highlight from the upcoming EP. With its funky bassline and a charming 8-bit keyboard riff, “Kiss It” is a song about anticipation, the desire that grows with distance. Alternating rhythmic rhyming with a sighing falsetto, Jae sings of her playful and steamy romance, in which each business trip evolves into a sultry role-playing game: “My boy likes to leave so he can run back to me/Doing business out in Nice, always got somewhere to be,” she purrs. When he returns from his travels, Jae is very clear about what she wants: “Seven days that you’ve been gone/From the second you get home/Come and fix it, kiss it like you miss it.”
