Between The Lines: Jai Paul - BTSTU

Welcome to another week of Between The Lines, our opportunity to get into the nitty gritty of the craft of songwriting. We use some of our favourite songs, and submissions from our lovely listenership, as jumping off points to show you our interpretation of the art and craft that has gone in to bringing it to life.

This week we are using a rather unorthodox tracks as a jumping off point to discuss some of the wider topics that this artist’s journey brings up. Jai Paul’s story is one that really captured Michelle’s heart, and she wanted to share it with our listenership. Jai Paul is a British songwriter/producer whose early career exploded, leading to an album leak, a long hiatus and a comeback. This story touches upon what art means to fans, an artist’s ownership over their art, mental health and questions of what could have been.

We’re off for a number of weeks now, on holiday. So soak this up as we soak up the sun, and we’ll catch you when we’re back.
