For fans of Phoebe Bridgers, MUNA, The Japanese House, and boygenius, this Liverpool-based queer non-binary producer and multi-instrumentalist brings a studied restraint to their release…
There is a specific kind of heartbreak that refuses to resolve neatly: the kind where no one is really to blame and nothing is really over. Jensyn has been mining that territory across their recent run of singles, and ‘Somebody Else’ finds them at their most unsparing.
Where previous singles like ‘Not the Same’ leaned into dreamy, folk-inflected textures, ‘Somebody Else’ is grittier: a slow-burn alt-pop track built on layered vocals, ambient guitar, and clever rhythmic shifts that keep you slightly off-balance throughout. The arrangement is deliberately dry and barebones, with real drums from Matthew Humphries and piano from Niamh Mailer adding organic warmth without overcrowding the space Jensyn has carved out. The payoff comes late. The final section opens up into something dramatic and emotionally raw, the kind of release that earns its weight because you have been made to wait for it.
Jensyn’s lyricism here is characteristically unflinching. The tension of watching someone move on, of holding conflicting emotions simultaneously without resolution, is rendered with precision and without self-pity. It sits comfortably alongside the best work coming out of the UK’s alt-pop underground right now: emotionally honest, sonically considered, and entirely its own thing.
With further singles due on 26th May and 16th June, ‘Somebody Else’ signals that Jensyn is building towards something, so pay attention...
