Jacklyn is a talented artist with a gift for melody, and her latest track, ‘Dead Romance’ is further proof of that. The West London artist combines soulful influences with a laid-back R&B feel and contemporary pop hooks that ooze from every section of the track. It’s underpinned by an energetic, assertive rhythm that supports the sense of empowerment that comes from her lyrics. The track “captures the experience of being in a relationship that gradually loses its spark because of your partner's lack of effort. It's the realisation that, after emotionally distancing yourself from the relationship, they finally attempt the effort you had always desired, only to find that it's too late to mend what's broken.” ‘Dead Romance’ is a great follow-up to Jacklyn’s previous single, the silky alt-pop banger, ‘No Saint’. -Dan Peeke
