Jean Deaux

Following the release of her 2023 EP release ‘HEAVY’, Chicago-bred multi-hyphenate, rapper, and singer Jean Deaux unveils her new EP ‘nowhere, fast’ along with the accompanying music video for her lead single “Roll With Me”.

On the 8-track project, Jean opens up about her enduring, yet introspective journey over the past year searching for personal growth amidst feelings of stagnation. Further describing her new body of work as a coming of age story about the delicate relationship between time and lessons learned – ‘nowhere, fast’ marks a shift from seeking external validation to focusing on what truly matters to her and envisioning her future.

Jean reflects on childhood manifestations and the dreams she has actualized in her burgeoning career as an artist, director, and filmmaker in the black queer space. The project stands as a cathartic release for the young artist, reflecting on the lessons of adulthood and womanhood.

Accompanying the new EP, Jean delivers her first official music video off the project for her lead single “Roll With Me” – a starry mid-tempo groove about a growing connection and their intense chemistry during a car ride.

Ahead of the EP announcement, Jean revealed the project’s second single "Dreamin" – a reflective diary entry about outgrowing others' image or limited fantasy of you. Jean’s focus track accompanying the project "Thinkin,” featuring Destin Conrad and produced by Grammy-nominated producer LIDO, is described as a soulful, lovers’ cut about being present and getting out of your head and trying to understand your person and their dreams.
