As anticipation builds for the release of her latest single, US-based Filipina soul and R&B singer-songwriter Marga Jayy is putting Filipino artistry out there with a cover artwork by local illustrator rs08 Art.
Posting the artwork on social media, Jayy wrote, “The cover art for my upcoming single was hand-drawn by a Filipino artist.”
Dominated by warm orange and gold hues, the artwork features nature-inspired elements surrounding a central figure to illustrate the title of Jayy’s new song, “Buhol Buhol.”
The single is scheduled for release on Nov. 13.
Beyond introducing new music, the track also represents Jayy’s first officially released co-production with longtime collaborator Gabe Dandan.
The record was mixed by Enrique Santamaria, with the final master done by Grammy Award-winning master engineer Gerard Hairston.
Known for weaving soul, R&B, jazz, and funk into her music, Jayy balances her Filipino identity with her life in the US.
Since relocating to the US, the singer-songwriter has steadily built her presence in the Filipino American music scene. She has performed at Sofar Sounds San Diego and appeared at several community and cultural events in Los Angeles, including the Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture (FPAC) and Kanto Korner.
Originally from Bulacan and now based in Southern California, Jayy performs in both English and Tagalog.
