Genre-defying artist Jean Deaux has unveiled her new EP, nowhere, fast, via Guin Records.
The eight-track, introspective project includes the previously shared “Dreamin” and “Roll With Me.”
Speaking on nowhere, fast, Deaux reveals, “It’s about coming to the end of your 20-somethings and feeling everything has been such a blur, from childhood to young adulthood, to now just being who I am. Everything has flown past me, and I feel like I’ve come so far, but at the same time, so many things look the same. So many things blend in with each other into the background.”
Nowhere, fast features Destin Conrad, who appears on the penultimate track, “Thinkin.” On the LIDO-produced cut, they sing about embracing the present moment with their respective love interests.
“I’ve always felt like this ‘Where’s Waldo’ figure in the middle of the busiest planet in the galaxy. Trying to find my pace, my rhythm, and fearing that I won’t catch it in time and life is going to pass me by,” says Deaux.
“As I’m healing through those feelings and getting to a place where I’m establishing my life and who I am, and I’m getting to those answers—before I get there, I want to explore this feeling that I am now. The feeling that’s encouraged me to transition and graduate into the next feeling of my life.”
Nowhere, fast is the follow-up to Deaux’s 2023 EP, Heavy.
This summer, Deaux will embark on a five-city tour to support nowhere, fast. The tour begins June 17 in Atlanta and will make stops in Washington, D.C., Brooklyn, and Chicago before concluding in West Hollywood on June 18. Tickets are on sale now at jeandeauxmusic.com.
