BLOSMM FIND THEMSELVES IN THE DARKNESS ON DEBUT SINGLE “POSER”
The duo behind hard rockers Jane N’ The Jungle, Jordan White and Brian Dellis, have returned with a new identity and an even bigger sonic palette. Reinventing themselves as BLOSMM, the longtime collaborators kick off the next chapter of their artistic evolution with “Poser,” a positively dark debut about self-doubt, losing your identity, and fighting like hell to reclaim it.
As BLOSMM, White and Dellis take pieces of their previous sound and push them into entirely new territory, incorporating electronica, programming and beats alongside the heavy guitars and punishing drums already familiar to longtime listeners. The result is a sound that feels less like starting over and more like tearing down the walls around what they were already capable of doing.
“Poser” is exceptionally well constructed, balancing its heavier moments with effortless melodies and an atmosphere that feels appropriately uneasy. But what stands out most is White’s ardent vocal performance. There’s a genuine vulnerability in her voice that perfectly reflects the song’s central struggle: the gradual erosion of your own identity when you spend too much time trying to become what everyone else wants you to be.
There’s also something incredibly bold about launching a brand-new project with a song centered around questioning who you are.
A song about losing yourself ultimately sounds like two musicians finding themselves creatively. White and Dellis use the freedom of BLOSMM to explore ideas that might not have fit comfortably within their previous work, and “Poser” makes a convincing argument that the evolution was worth it.
The production deserves plenty of credit, too. Every electronic texture, crushing guitar, and melodic layer contributes to an atmosphere that captures the vulnerability and internal struggle at the track's center without overwhelming it. Nothing feels thrown in simply to prove BLOSMM can sound different. Every new element serves the song.
And, ironically, a song about struggling with authenticity might be the most authentic thing White and Dellis have created yet.
“Poser” makes BLOSMM anything but.
