Jill Blutt is an artist, songwriter, producer, and overall really nice, cool, and chill person. Born and raised in New York City, Jill enjoys the simple pleasures in life such as late nights, loud music, and avoiding things like long walks on beaches. Jill’s music blends melancholy dream pop elements with a sprinkle of muck and mire, modernizing lyric-forward sentimentality against a dreamlike electronic backdrop. What emerges is a timelessly nostalgic love letter to the loneliness of the human existence—the perfect soundtrack to staring contemplatively out the window on your way home from the club at five AM. Her newest single, “Heaven,” is a perfect example of this. “Heaven” looks at the tendency of loneliness to become cyclical, congenial, and over time, even compulsive. Co-produced with Eben D’Amico (Saves The Day, Lissy Trullie, various via Dirtybird & Mad Decent) and featuring instrumentation from Jesse Blum (Twenty One Pilots, MisterWives, Nas), “Heaven” is a cinematic “anti-love song” filled with snappy analog textures and a sweetness that edges appropriately on saccharinity. Drawing from an eclectic host of influences ranging from Imogen Heap to Grace Ives, “Heaven” is Blutt’s testament to having “perfect[ed] the art of the bummer tune” (Victoria Wasylak, Vanyaland 2021) and graduated to the art of the Bummer Anthem. This single is a true standout in Blutt’s already impressive discography, and it’s sure to become a fan favorite in no time. So where is the perfect place to listen to “Heaven?” Honestly, it’s up to you. You could take a late-night drive through the city, staring contemplatively out the window as the dreamlike electronic sounds wash over you. Or, you could put on “Heaven” as the soundtrack to your next post-club contemplation session at 5 AM. No matter where you choose to listen, one thing is for certain: “Heaven” is a timelessly nostalgic love letter to the loneliness of the human existence that will leave you feeling both comforted and understood.
