New York-born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter-producer Jackson Lundy announces his debut album, PEACHY KEEN, out December 6, 2024. Recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville, Jackson widened his sonic palette this time around, embracing Americana, country, and grunge with open arms.
“In the past, I’ve made very conceptual projects, but I looked at this as my opportunity to put every style I like into one body of work,” he notes. “I tried to be as diverse as possible. The production is very full, but it’s also intimate.”
Today, he also unveils his latest single, “runnin’,” a collaboration with singer-songwriter Sarah Kang that hinges on a jazz-y groove laced with shaky tambourine and handclaps. Flexing his vocal range, he and Sarah Kang commune in a soulfully smoky back-and-forth.
“There’s nothing more profound than genuinely being seen and loved by someone,” he reflects. “It brings out the deepest things inside of you. The track explores running away from the fear of not being good enough in the context of a relationship.”
Fusing Lundy’s love of hip-hop, R&B, and the early 2000s with a bossa nova influence, Jackson and Sarah sing of running away from commitment and being afraid of parts of yourself you still have yet to figure out on “runnin’,” which follows recently released singles “old me,” “happy (got 1),” and “miller lite,” providing a taste of his debut full-length to come.

The Berklee College of Music graduate kickstarted his career with “Calypso” in 2017, peaking at No. 4 on the United States Viral list, and has exceeded over 7MM streams since its release. Through the years, he has continued to grow his catalog and a devoted fanbase, playing shows across the country with Grammy-winner and frequent collaborator Brasstracks, November Ultra, Dylan Dunlap, and more. His honeyed melodies and vivid lyricism have landed Lundy on Live Nation’s Ones To Watch and Spotify’s “Chill Vibes,” “anesthesia,” “mellow morning,” and more. Lundy brings relatable memories to life in flickering flashes of pop, R&B, soul, rock, and country, unearthing formative experiences and sharing his life out loud. On his forthcoming 2024 full-length debut album, PEACHY KEEN, Lundy’s warm voice practically melts into creaking acoustic guitar and grainy beat-craft as a vibrant vision comes into focus. Stay tuned for more to come from Jackson.
