JayWood ist das rätselhafte künstlerische Ventil des grenzüberschreitenden Musikers und Singer-Songwriters Jeremy Haywood-Smith. Obwohl er in seiner kanadischen Heimat für den Polaris Music Prize nominiert wurde - der Renaissance-Kreative wohnt derzeit in Montreal, QB, wo er tagsüber als Postbeamter arbeitet - ist das noch das Uninteressanteste an ihm. Wie die genreübergreifenden vorab veröffentlichten Singles "BIG TINGS" feat. Tune-Yards, "UNTITLED (Swirl)" und "ASSUMPTIONS" gezeigt haben, lässt sich JayWood nicht in eine Schublade stecken. Die Hip-Hop-Produktion des Albums ist trippig und unverblümt, gespickt mit psychedelischen Schnörkeln und einer prahlerischen Neo-Soul-Energie, die ebenso an Tyler the Creator wie an Stereolab und die Quebecer Indie-Lieblinge Men I Trust erinnert. JayWood hat sein musikalisches Schaffen von Winnipeg, Manitoba, nach Montreal verlagert, und sein neues Album "Leo Negro" schlägt einen anderen Ton an, da es sich mit dem eigenen Selbst und der eigenen Identität auseinandersetzt. Es markiert einen bedeutungsvollen Wandel, bei dem das kontrollierte Chaos die Führung übernimmt, und philosophiert darüber, was es wirklich bedeutet, ein Experimentalist zu sein, der eine facettenreiche Welt aufbaut, in der das Genre unendlich ist, und zwar mit mutigeren, verspielteren und wahrhaftigeren Klängen, als er es bisher gewagt hat. Trotz des klugen Samplings mit einer Vielzahl von Wendungen, gibt "Leo Negro" nicht an, sondern brüllt in der Gegenwart der Verletzlichkeit, während er über die eigenen Absolutheiten nachdenkt, um die Identitätskrise zu bewältigen. "Always looking for attention, I admit it, I can't help it, I'm a Leo", erklärt er im Vintage-Hip-Hop-Gewand auf "Pistachios" und erinnert sich an sein Bedürfnis in der Kindheit, im Mittelpunkt zu stehen, um dann als Erwachsener aus dem Rampenlicht zu treten. Löwen sind vom Sternzeichen her selbstbewusst und selbstsicher, also inspiriert der Titel der Platte, wenn man ihn übersetzt, wirklich "schwarzes Selbstvertrauen". Es ist ein unbequemer, seltsamer und surrealer Begriff, der die Wahrheit verbiegt und alles darin verkörpert. "Leo Negro" experimentiert sowohl im Leben als auch in der Musik und sein erstes Stück "Big Tings" (mit dem kalifornischen Art-Pop-Duo Tune-Yards) könnte nicht weiter entfernt sein von der "Grow On EP" von 2023 und der glatten LP "Slingshot" aus dem Vorjahr. Mit einem Flow, der an D'Angelo mit Toro Y Moi-Texturen gemahnt, erinnert das glitzernde Intro mit seinen wirbelnden Synthesizern und seinem spielerischen Ansatz an Jeremys Jugendzeit, als er seine Lieblingssongs über den Media Player seines Computers zurückspulte, verlangsamte und beschleunigte. Unterstützt von seiner musikalischen Truppe Will Grierson, Arthur Antony, Brett Ticzon und seinen Stylisten- und Thrifter-Freunden, um die Leo Negro-Ästhetik einzufangen, ist JayWoods großes "In" für 2025 die Zusammenarbeit mit der engen Crew von gleichgesinnten Musikerkollegen, die in den Session-Fotos auf seinem Instagram-Gitter grinsen. Nominiert für den begehrten kanadischen Polaris Music Prize, wäre es ein Leichtes, der feige Löwe zu sein und das zu wiederholen, was bis jetzt funktioniert hat. Aber für JayWood ist es die einzige Option, sich auf seine natürliche Neugier zu verlassen, seine eigenen Regeln zu erfinden und sich in den unsicheren Raum der Ehrlichkeit zu wagen, um Trost und Vertrauen zu finden und noch größere Verbindungen zu knüpfen. Schließlich kann er nicht anders, er ist ein Löwe.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.
