Jadu Heart (Diva-Sachy Jeffrey and Alex Headford) have shared two new singles, “Freedom” & “Blame”, off their forthcoming album Derealised. The duo will play instore shows at Rough Trade London on January 21st and Rough Trade Bristol on January 22nd. The singles follow previous album tracks “Cocoon” and “I Shimmer.” Jadu Heart’s third album Derealised will come out on January 20th via VLF Records.

“Freedom” provides Jadu Heart’s most singalong chorus to date, a call to arms for those not willing to submit to a rigid life. An escapist anthem, it’s no coincidence that it was written during lockdown when the band felt suffocated both physically & musically. The Jaxon Whittington directed music video follows a cowboy with a third eye going on a surreal adventure, towing the line between horror-fantasy and Acid Western.

The band said “Freedom is a song about wanting to escape, it seems almost impossible to get away from the constant claustrophobic tightening of technology, information overload, bills and commitments; unfortunately that just seems an integral part of life in the 2020’s. This song is a dream for space to breathe” The album was worked out of their home in Stoke Newington having moved back from Bristol, burrowing down during lockdown to make their most interconnected body of work yet.

Derealised was written as an antidote to – and growing acceptance of – a baffling and dispassionate world. It is a celebration of humanity despite all of its failings. The album capures the them accepting “that the world is a weird fucking place” rather than fighting against the feelings. One of the mental health issues the pair suffered from and then came to understand, derealisation, gives the new album its title.

Despite their last release being over two years ago, the pair have a way of connecting with their audience, themselves a balanced portrait of the country. A devoted audience highlighted by their 1.4 million monthly Spotify listeners and live shows of 1,000, Jadu Heart are building something truly special.
