Prefix Magazine Premieres First Single Off L0-F! Side B
The Song:
Jack Davey, the magnetic frontwoman of electronic-soul duo J*DaVeY, recently released the first part of her three-part EP, L0-F! Side A, and is gearing up to drop the album’s counterpart, Side B, on November 6th. In anticipation of Side B’s release, Jack is unleashing the first single from it: a guitar-heavy jam entitled “Shit Gets Deep,” which Prefix Magazine premiered online today.
Straightforward and frank, this song unapologetically calls out everyone on their hypocrisies with lyrics like “You call a bluff but can’t take it the same,” and forces deep introspection against a heavy rock rhythm, produced by Joey Strat of The Knux. “The song is a look in the mirror,” says Jack. “It’s like that ‘come to Jesus’ moment; that poignant time when you gotta be real with your self and get deep.” Short and simple, the song conveys a very vital message according to Davey, “You can’t hide from yourself, so get deep.”

The Background:
Jack Davey, one half of hybrid electronic-soul duo J*DaVeY, is at the forefront of a reaction against the over-produced pop artists of today. Some of her professional milestones include opening for Prince, the Roots, Erykah Badu and Janelle Monáe, as well as licensing music to CSI: NY and Nike Latin America; J*DaVeY was also featured as LA Weekly’s Beautiful People cover story in 2011. Jack’s rise into the role of solo artist grew out of a period of artistic stagnation, coupled with the birth of her first child and the imperative to bring to light the new, raw sound playing in her head. The constantly evolving Davey picked up the skills necessary to express her dynamic vision, learning to play guitar so she could convey her intentions in a solo format with her new double EP L0-F!. For L0-F! Side A, Jack summons up kindred spirit Iggy Pop, and intertwined with it, her bluesy, confident voice declaring a new, stripped down incarnation of the artist herself and an era of straightforward rock. Side B includes further instrumentation and is produced by her boyfriend, Joey Strat of The Knux. L0-F! Side A was released October 2nd, Side B will be released on November 6th, and a D'Lux edition including both EP’s, three new songs, and a digital booklet on December 11th.
