Coming from a place of vulnerability, ‘In My Corner’ captures the quiet tug-of-war between heart and head, searching for a genuine connection whilst wrestling with the doubts left behind by past experiences. Opening yourself up to someone requires having the confidence to start again, but is worth a love that feels exciting, romantic, yet grounded and safe.

The track portrays jem’s bold and eclectic, yet commercial sound. Blending elements of soul and jazz with pop and a unique, expressive voice – shaped by artists like RAYE, Olivia Dean, Hiatus Kaiyote and the alternative edge of Hard Life. Building to a cathartic hook that comes alive in a crowd. One to be witnessed at jem’s shows, ‘In My Corner’ ends in a way that can only be described as cinematic.

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!”
