Faroese soulful singer-songwriter jazzygold is proud to release ‘homerun’, a new, heartfelt single that honours her identity. Hailing from the Faroe Islands with roots in Kenya, jazzygold invites the listener on a journey through her childhood and personal history with this new soul-pop track, out now via the local imprint Tutl Records. Together with the single, she’s released a video directed and edited by multi-disciplinary artist Dania O. Tausen.
‘homerun’ is a deeply personal track that reflects her experience growing up in a predominantly white neighbourhood, where she often questioned her identity as a brown girl with curly hair. This song is both a love letter to her family and an exploration of the challenges she faced, balancing two cultures in her household and coping with a distant father. jazzygold honours her siblings and especially her mother, who tirelessly mended the broken pieces over the years.
When opening up about the song, jazzygold stated “’homerun’ is a song I’ve wanted to write forever, but I never felt ready to share my personal story until now. After creating this beautiful song, I’ve never been more ready to reveal these layers in front of everyone.”
The music video is a journey back home. The video was filmed in her first childhood home and features her older brother and sister, who played a significant role in her upbringing and are also mentioned in the song. As they revisit the spaces that shaped their early years, the video captures the warmth, love, and complexities of growing up in a mixed-culture household. ‘homerun’ is more than a song; it’s a visual tribute to the strength of family and the journey of self-discovery. Experience the nostalgia and emotion of ‘homerun’ as jazzygold shares a piece of her life like never before.
