South London’s rising Alt-R&B trailblazer Jupiter Grey makes a powerful return with his brand-new single, ‘Closer To Us’ — the first chapter in his ambitious 13-song episodic album, ‘The Colours That We Make’. Blending rich, classic R&B textures with cutting-edge production, ‘Closer To Us’ captures the push-pull of modern relationships — passion, doubt, and the games we play in between.
“‘Closer To Us’ felt like the right introduction to the album because it holds all the contradictions I was trying to make sense of while writing, wanting someone, doubting them, needing clarity but still playing the game. It’s about being caught in that in-between space where things feel good one minute and confusing the next,”
Jupiter Grey
With shimmering melodies, thunderous drums, and a deep, brooding bassline, ‘Closer To Us’ sets an emotional tone — elevated further by a stunning mid-song key change that mirrors the track’s shifting mood. It’s a masterclass in sonic storytelling and a tantalising taste of what’s to come from Jupiter’s episodic album rollout, with a new song dropping every six weeks over the next 15 months.
