The ones that do share the theme of a failing love: whether it is a struggling relationship, a broken heart or fighting for that special someone. Not all of the album’s songs have lyrics. This transition is commonly heard throughout his music. It soon transitions as the beat drops and picks up halfway. The song begins with a soft guitar and slowly overlayers the sound with electronic music and edited vocals. “Manic Pixie Dream” presents a change of pace within the album. The uncredited feminine voice on the track compliments the emotions embedded within the music. The lyrics describe a young woman’s relationship. Wolf’s “Still Sleeping” creates a vibe similar to indie-pop singer Lorde. Each layer elevates the music to richer and fuller beats. In each song, you can hear how Wolf gradually develops different levels of sound.
His use of vocals, intertwined with his electronic beat, is magnificent. You can slowly feel the song grow on you and travel through your body as it develops. Wolf’s music is made to dance and bob your head to its rhythm.
But Wolf maintains his own identifiable style - his melodies are his signature. Wolf has a similar sound to musicians like The 1975, The Killers and Porter Robinson, with his undertones and influences of ‘80s electronic music. This makes a perfect transition for his next song “Lose My Mind,” which is more upbeat. It begins slow and builds, only to introduce beats and voices in the last 10 seconds. It’s the perfect way to set the tone for the rest of the album. “Intro” opens “The Cure To Loneliness” and is just 40 seconds long. Since this release, whenever Wolf puts out a new single, he continues elevate my expectations. I first fell in love with Wolf’s music when I heard his hit song “Indian Summer.” This song truly put him on the map. In a way, the songs are created like perfect stories with a beginning, middle and end. His songs usually begin with mellow beats, setting a harmonious melody and then slowly building up to an electronic climax. Each song flows and follows right into the next one. Whether at the gym, walking down Commonwealth Avenue on your way to class, hanging out with friends or even studying, his style fits any mood. Wolf’s chill and relaxed vibes make his music perfect to listen to for any occasion. Released April 5, “The Cure of Loneliness” features Wolf’s signature electronic sound combined with alternative pop that we have come to know through his previous EPs. Jai Wolf’s first-ever studio album, “The Cure To Loneliness,” totally slaps. Jai Wolf released his new debut album, “The Cure to Loneliness,” on April 5.
