JAWNY DROPS LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO FOR “SABOTAGE”

Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist JAWNY releases a live performance video, or is it really, for “Sabotage” today. Directed by Zach Bailey, the visual showcases JAWNY’s humor as he and his band perform “Sabotage” in the middle of a wrestling match. “Sabotage” is featured on JAWNY’s debut major label project For Abby which was released last fall  on Interscope Records.   An angsty and resigned track that was heralded by Clara Amfo & Annie Mac of BBC 1 Radio: “…I  would say if you grew up loving Beastie Boys, if you still love Beastie Boys then you’ll be definitely into this”, Sabotage is currently climbing the Alternative Radio charts.

For Abby is a conceptual, narrative piece in which JAWNY attempts to rekindle a troubled relationship with ‘Abby’ by giving her a “mixtape” of her favorite songs in hopes that she will eventually call him back. The project, which Dork Magazine noted was stacked with “upbeat, personality-packed songs” in a 4/5 review, starts off on an up-tempo high note with songs like “Super Bad Mantra” (hailed by Wonderland Magazine as “irresistibly catchy”) and the playful “You Gotta Man” on Side A. Upon flipping the tape to Side B, the mood gets significantly more introspective in sentimental & confessional lo-fi ballads like “When I Fall Apart”, “4tounce”, “Coloring” and the superb title track “For Abby”.

The project displays the untamed originality JAWNY first revealed in early releases like his 2019 viral hit “Honeypie.” A “slacker-funk gem”, as referenced by DIY Mag, “Honeypie” has racked up over 175 million streams globally across all streaming platforms and has surpassed 15 million views on YouTube. For  Abby, which was hailed by NME as “packed full of funky slacker rock beats and infectious indie anthems” in a 4-star review, is a stellar collection that showcases JAWNY’s restless creativity and eclectic aesthetic.
