‘We Both Know’ is truly elegant, almost effortless. Delivered by the luscious and gentle vocals of American songstress Jesabel, the record marks the project’s first love song, fully written by the artist herself. Hailing from Georgia but now residing in Florida, Jesabel also spent a month in Paris around the single release, seemingly to experience the French capital’s “true bohemian” spirit. Such an experience is particularly evident in a lot of the imagery around the song, strikingly hazy, nostalgic and steeped in warm, heartfelt tones.
Introduced by a liminal, intimate production, ‘We Both Know’ navigates poignant indie-pop with dreamy flair and a certain Folk-esque softness. Still, there’s a certain rhythm in it, making the track catchy and playful. Jesabel’s luscious vocals are the perfect match for such a vivid piece, wrapping listeners into a relatable romantic tale, one that’s certainly guided by destiny, yet faced with real-world consequences. The tension between fantasy and reality appears to be a central theme.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the single, the American creative explains: “The duality of love inspired this song. I find there are two different types of romantic love. A soul love. The one in the ethers. That unexplainable energetic connection to another. Everything feels pure. It’s not impacted by a physical relationship or lack thereof. This type of love comes out in the chorus. The ideal love, I think.”
