SONG OF THE WEEK: Jeans by BBYBITES (week beginning Friday 16 June 2023)

WORTH A LOOK?: ****1/2

We’re well into summer, it’s Glastonbury Festival next week and we think we might have unearthed the song of the season already.

  • Read on for reasons including how this new single reminds of the greatness of Prince’s Kiss

You don’t remind people of the greatness of Prince’s Kiss without a great song to back it up and Jeans by fresh new Danish artist BBYBITES is definitely that.

There’s also a Gwen Stefani-inspired middle 8 and a keyboard flourish that wouldn’t be out of place in your favourite 80s hit.

The lyric is also unafraid to be confrontational and provocative with its: ‘I just want your hands in my jeans – ‘cause when they’re on my a**– life is sweet’ hook.

BBYBITES is a singer, producer and songwriter who says: ‘Imagine standing next to your lover and suddenly you feel a hand sliding into the back pocket of your tight blue jeans. Naughty? Comforting? To me, it’s a simple, powerful gesture and the visual evidence of intimacy and connection between lovers. Jeans is a song about fighting and making up – and a whole lotta fun for the dancefloor.’

Try Jeans on for size – and you might just be wearing it all summer.
