jaye Explores Loss and Connection Through the Dream Pop Depths of “In Between”

 

jaye built his career by moving fluidly across creative, technological, and cultural spaces. The multi-nominated, award-winning artist has collaborated with major global brands, including Nike and Vogue, while also cultivating a strong digital presence through high-concept music videos and his widely viewed PC game Tomorrow.

His forward-looking mindset extends beyond music. As co-founder of PARLOUR Amsterdam, a creative and lifestyle brand, he has developed a network of spaces that support and inspire artistic communities. This multidisciplinary reach reinforces his reputation as an artist who builds worlds rather than just songs.

“In Between,” his latest release, channels that world-building instinct into a dream pop landscape defined by atmosphere and emotion. The track leans into haunting lyrics and weighty themes, anchored by his voice, which remains at the center. Layers of distortion and ethereal tones surround him, creating a space that feels suspended between reality and the unknown.

Despite its shimmering sonic framing, the song is rooted in a deeply personal loss. jaye wrote “In Between” in memory of his dog, who passed away from kidney disease at only four years old. That grief became the foundation for the track’s central questions: Where do the ones we love go, and is there a place where we might meet them again?

For the artist, the song is an attempt to reconcile absence with continuity. “‘In Between’ is about finding peace in the idea that nothing truly ends,” he explains. “It is a song for anyone who has ever lost someone or a pet. A reminder that love, energy, and memory exist beyond physical boundaries. We might be living in parallel worlds, but the connection never fades.”
