Listen to Jasper Sommer’s brooding new track, ‘Memento’

Multi-faceted musician Jasper Sommer released his new single, ‘Memento’, on the 1st of December 2023 via EFG Records Oy. Currently based in Finland, Jasper is an English musician, record producer, and singer-songwriter. He has already received mainstream publication support from the likes of COMPLEX UK and Earmilk, drawing comparisons to the likes of Four Tet and James Blake. In addition, his latest single, ‘We Could Rule The World’, received support from notable tastemaker NOTION Magazine and Numéro Magazine.

‘Memento’ is a melancholic and introspective track reminiscent of the works of Jai Paul and James Blake. Produced by Jasper himself, the song’s production showcases his idiosyncratic approach to genre-bending. His languid but crisp vocal delivery sings a melody that has an air of pop, but it is carried by a slow, catchy hip hop rhythm while all remaining distinctly ambient. His lyrics dwell on themes of attachment, happiness and alienation.

Jasper shared: “The title song of the EP, ‘Memento’, is about holding onto the things that bring us happiness, whilst also learning to let go of the things that no longer serve us.”
