August 1, 2024- Akin to the nostalgic, 2000s pop/punk sounds of Linkin Park and the nu-metal style of Deftones, Jutes’ independent sophomore album ‘Sleepyhead,’ a continuation of his ‘Sleepyhead EP,’ is set to release October 17th. The Ottawa-via-LA rock/pop artist and songwriter announces his new album today (8.1) with the release of “Safe Word.”
Produced by Keith Sorrells (Demi Lovato, Alessia Cara) and Alex Niceforo (John Legend, Rita Ora) of The Orphanage, "Safe Word" is a high-energy rock track with intense guitar riffs and dynamic drum patterns. Its sensual undertones, powerful vocals and driving instrumentation create an atmosphere perfect for both a lively night out and an evening in, keeping listeners moving and fully engaged.
“The ‘Sleepyhead EP’, which is now evolving into ‘Sleepyhead’ the album, was extremely vibe heavy. As it transformed into a full album, I felt it needed more variety—something with a bit more energy and intensity to balance it out,” explains Jutes. “‘Safe Word’ is something you can rage to depending on what you’re into.”
His single, “Sleepyhead,” is currently the fastest-growing track of his career, boasting over 100,000 streams daily and accumulating over 6 million streams to date. Climbing at Alternative radio, the track landed in the top 5 most added songs on impact date. “Sleepyhead” has been featured on Spotify’s top editorial playlists including “Allure,” “The New Alt” and “New Noise,” solidifying Jutes as one of music’s most exciting artists of 2024.
