Jojo Gold – “Your Glitter is Gold”

Getting hit by a wave of pure pop-punk energy is incredibly rare these days. “Your Glitter is Gold” brings that exact rush right out of the gate. Jojo Gold taps into something highly infectious here. Growing up deep in punk culture left a clear mark on the Portland-based artist and their drummer and you hear that gritty background driving the heavy rhythm section.

It’s one of the best releases I’ve listened to this week so far; the whole track captures that dizzying, euphoric rush of falling wildly in love and that overwhelming emotion completely takes over the music. With such engaging lyrics, the song naturally makes you want to get up and dance, honestly, we need more artists embracing this kind of upbeat joy so openly.

Knowing how they put this together makes me appreciate the final cut even more: they recorded the single in a tiny studio in Vancouver, building everything from the ground up, and that is what makes it worth every second of your time. Starting with just the guitar and vocals as the core foundation gave the track an incredibly raw, honest sound that makes you interested. The duo hit a few walls during the recording process but just kept pushing forward to bring their vision to life and that stubborn dedication definitely paid off with a truly fantastic release.

If you are just discovering this duo now, I highly recommend that you go back and check out the artist’s previous releases right away, you will absolutely find plenty of truly great music waiting patiently in their back catalog.

Make sure to follow Jojo Gold to stay updated about new releases coming out for the rest of this year. I honestly cannot wait to see exactly what they put together next, and they have a brilliant knack for channeling raw energy into perfectly crafted pop hooks, and that talent will take them incredibly far.
