Jonita on JP Saxe: His voice makes me cry

Singer-songwriter Jonita has teamed up with Canadian singer-songwriter JP Saxe for the first time. For Jonita, the collaboration was as emotional as it was musical. “Collaborating with JP Saxe has been such a beautiful experience! I feel like our studio session together had both laughter and tears; his voice makes me cry,” she says.Their intimate collaboration delves into the emotional aftermath of losing someone, and the feeling that, with them, a part of oneself has also been lost.The song began as a remote collaboration before the two artists eventually met in person to record it together. For Jonita, that first meeting added another dimension to the track. “We started this song remotely and eventually met in person to sing it together, and hearing our voices meet for the first time was really magical,” she says.Describing Saxe as “a heart-wrenchingly beautiful singer and an incredible writer,” Jonita says his storytelling is marked by “honesty and tenderness.” The emotional vulnerability that defines his music also shaped their collaboration, allowing the song to explore grief and loss without becoming overly sentimental.A special touch comes with Saxe singing in Hindi on the bridge, a moment Jonita says came naturally to him. “He’s such a natural,” she says, adding that she is looking forward to audiences experiencing the song.With its intimate vocal interplay and emotionally charged storytelling, the collaboration brings together two artists from different musical backgrounds while finding common ground in the universal language of loss.
