jem wax untangles the past with new release ‘SPIDERRR’

London-based music artist and producer jem wax returns with her powerful new single, ‘SPIDERRR’ – a genre-blending track born from an all-female production collaboration. Embodying strength, resilience, and liberation, the song channels an earnest creative release with bold, experimental lyrics and dynamic production.

The track combines jem’s signature sung-spoken style with electronic precision, jazz influences, and hip-hop elements. Her dynamic vocals and playful lyricism have helped her carve out a niche as an artist who doesn’t shy away from exploring new territory. Starting off in the synthetic world of ‘SPIDERRR’ with a clinical vocal hook and jem-esque rap verses, the production later evolved to include live band textures, giving depth and character to the song as it grew through live performances.

Co-produced by jem alongside multi-instrumentalist Natsuma and top-liner Emma Tea, the track explores themes of empowerment and self-awareness. It stems from a heartfelt session where the trio unpacked experiences with male privilege, power dynamics, and personal growth.

Commenting on the new track, jem said: “This song symbolises the power we have over our pasts. We can’t change what happened, but we can process how it affected us and make sure we don’t repeat mistakes. I want people to feel empowered, to have fun, and to dust off a few cobwebs after listening to the track. To me, ‘SPIDERRR’ is like Imagine Dragons meets auto-tune, meets UK Rap, meets Soul.

“Balancing various elements was key to establish the provocative feel, without straying too far for a commercial record. The result is a bold alternative to traditional pop. We wanted to create an infectious hook and punchy rhythms which reflect the cathartic process behind creating the song. It is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting year ahead – I can’t wait for everyone to hear what I’ve got coming up!”
