Fittingly, that is Jimmy Eat World’s Jim Adkins, one of those childhood heroes, offering background vocals on \"Float\"; whilst Hayley Williams lends soft harmonies on the arcing \"Past Lives\", and Lexi Vega, of Mini Trees, contributes to \"Cards On The Table\", these three are Jay Som’s first-ever guest vocalists, representing Duterte’s push to try new things with people she trusts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince her last album, Melina decided to splurge on herself and her lifelong interest in recording. Purchasing a vintage Neve console, she committed herself to becoming more than her own home-recording engineer. Five years later, she now boasts a rich résumé of production and mixing credits, including on Lucy Dacus’ latest album Forever Is A Feeling, guest spots alongside the likes of Troye Sivan, No Rome, and beabadoobee, a contribution to A24’s I Saw the TV Glow soundtrack, and a Grammy for her work on The Record by boygenius, the band she subsequently joined as a touring member. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Jay Som itself has been on a bit of a break, but Duterte has been busier than ever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?si=6SPUQZzomtQHtp1G\u0026amp;list=OLAK5uy_nD0KLVs51s5gySYi9UCIgpQDMPBVolIKI\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jay Som","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47196668494011,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/0341\/4971\/files\/JaySom-Belong-WHITE-01.jpg?v=1763567596","url":"https:\/\/bizarromarket.mom\/products\/jay-som-belong-white-vinyl","provider":"Bizarro Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
