In a time where debut singles often arrive layered, loud and desperate to prove a point, Jael does the opposite. “Prisoner Of Love” is stripped back to almost nothing.

Just control.

At 19, most artists are still writing about the thrill of falling. Mulaa Joans is already documenting what happens when it falls apart. “Love Letter” opens with a hypnotic piano motif that feels deliberate, almost patient. There’s no rush to impress.
