Jay Som Announces 1st Album In 6 Years & Confirms 2025 Headline Tour Dates

Jay Som – Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/producer Melina Duterte – will release her long-awaited third album, Belong, on October 10 through Polyvinyl Record Co. Jay Som also confirmed her first North American Tour dates in over five years.

In the interim since the release of Jay Som’s sophomore album, 2019’s Anak Ko, Duterte expanded her production credits, working with boygenius, Lucy Dacus, Troye Sivan and beabadoobee, among many others.

Duterte “wrote, composed, performed, produced, engineered and mixed” Belong. The album was recorded with Joao Gonzalez, Mal Hauser, Steph Marziano and Kyle Pulley. Separate tracks feature guest vocalists – a first for Jay Som – with contributions from Paramore’s Hayley Williams, Jimmy Eat World’s Jim Adkins and Mini Trees’ Lexi Vega.

“When you try something for the first time, you’re always going to hold some type of fear, but I had to come to terms with the fact that I had to let go of some control,” Duterte stated. “This record is essentially still me, but a lot of choices were made by friends who helped me, because I trusted them.”

Jay Som shared a double preview of Belong via the singles “Float” featuring Adkins and “A Million Reasons Why.” Listen to both tracks below:
