Step into a multilayered, imaginative world within “EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE” from artist JXCKY. An electronic soundscape accompanied by smooth, emotion-laced vocals, JXCKY has given listeners a song that is both deeply personal and easily relatable to audiences. “EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE” delves into the topic of finding oneself and experiencing the struggle of your loved ones not understanding this change. JXCKY leaves it all out on the table, diving deep into details of how he’s gone about this change and the ways this impacts specific relationships within his life. The title itself, “EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE,” is a nod to the emotions often overwhelmingly felt by people in general, nonetheless, someone feeling singled out amongst their loved ones, as JXCKY is in this track. JXCKY does not skimp on intricately detailed songwriting, a fully fleshed-out story, and beautiful vocals intermixed with personal experiences. The kind of freeing experience felt while listening to this track is one that you won't want to miss, especially if you’re looking for something fresh and heartfelt.
“EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE” is a complex, gorgeously stacked collection of experiences & nuances put into one striking track. Upon solely listening to it, without examining the lyrics, it’s clear from the emotion put into JXCKY’s vocals that this song comes from both a creative & personal place, which is shown with care and respect. JXCKY tells his story with his head held high, while simultaneously showing listeners that it’s okay to feel hurt when not accepted/understood by loved ones. Lyrics such as, “No I wouldn’t be surprised they think I’m faking this,” and, “No I’ve never heard a silence quite this loud,” are stunningly written examples of how isolation while struggling, especially without having the support of loved ones, will lead you to not only have to break away from unhealthy dynamics but also to trust oneself completely. JXCKY brilliantly balances electronic playfulness with emotion, allowing the instrumental pieces behind “EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE” to speak for themselves as he unravels this story. The pop qualities of this song are bold, yet do not jump out at you immediately. JXCKY clearly has an understanding of the pop genre but additionally allows for the nature of these experiences to speak for themselves, therefore blending with elements of varying genres such as electronic, indie, and alternative.
JXCKY is a queer Chinese-Cambodian artist currently based in Melbourne, Australia. JXCKY’s music mixes the grittiness of the rock genre with the flair of trap, creating a modern identity that transforms chaos into craft. Aiming to cut through the noise in the music world, JXCKY delivers his music with honesty and embeds his truth with razor-sharp hooks and crazy falsetto-laced vocals. Every piece of JXCKY’s music is a production of its own, blending the spectacle of pop with elements that bring emotional release. Upon releasing his debut EP, Thriving in Perpetual Darkness, JXCKY had to decide to step away from music to handle a personal issue. Now, as an independent artist, formally with TEAMWRK Records, he has poured his transformation and personal discoveries into his sophomore EP. JXCKY’s recently released sophomore EP, A BODY FOR AN EYE, serves as an offering for the queer, POC, and creative communities he stands with.
