Now We're Strangers

A beautiful solo debut EP for singer/songwriter Jacq Teh, “Waves” is awash with raw emotion and vulnerability. A glimpse into the inner dealings behind a tumultuous break-up, the album takes listeners from the beginning through to the end of a collapsing relationship. Deeply moving and painfully real, listeners can expect a good cry as the journey reaches its destination of closure and acceptance.

The music is reminiscent of Bon Iver’s reverberant harmonies, with a poignant attention to detail and slight nod to Teh's jazz and R&B roots. The album seamlessly blends genres, cohesive in its use of vocal production and choral orchestrations. While “Happened” feels like a gentle lullaby bringing listeners into Teh’s world, “Did” and “Waves” are drenched with imagery and an almost palpable feeling of hearbreak. “Friends” features Toronto jazz pianist Jen Lo and gives us subtle R&B grooves and riffs, all while dishing out lyrics that strike to the core. “Getting Older” is undeniably relatable for anyone in their late 20’s to mid 30’s contemplating where they are in life and whether they have achieved the milestones expected of them at this stage. With a mild country landscape set by Toronto jazz guitarist Jay Yoo, the track is a minimalist approach to coming to terms with the dread of aging. And with a cinematic finish, the album concludes with a flowing piece, bringing us back to the image of running water and waves. Featuring a masterful orchestration of woodwinds performed by jazz composer, bandleader, and multi-instrumentalist Dennis Kwok, all one can really do at the end of this album is cry and cry and cry.

“Waves” is the simple story of a break-up, told so carefully and beautifully that it is impossible to turn away. We held in its comforting melodies and embraced by its luscious harmonies. An ambitious debut album for artist, Jacq Teh, firmly marking her place in the world of independent and contemporary music. 

Getting Older

its says it all on the song, finding the last gentleman in this town.

This is a bunch of really rough-quality demos of songs I am tired of holding on to. Some of them aren't bad songs necessarily. Of course, that's subjective.

This is the saddest song I’ve ever written. I still break into tears every time I hear it. It’s about my sister — how she passed away, what she meant to me, and the raw, impossible grief that followed.

That memory still wrecks me.

But this song isn’t just for her. It’s for everyone who’s ever had to say goodbye. For anyone who’s held someone's warm hand knowing it’s the last time.

This one… it really hits the heart. It’s sorrow in its purest form.

[Lyrics]

Please stay with me
I'm tired, I don't want to go
I want you to wrap me in our love
Just for one last time

Please sing me to sleep
Then I'll leave you soft and slow
Don't try to wake me in the morning
By then I'll be long gone

Don’t be sad, my love
You gave me skies of blue
Deep in the heart you made my home
Forever, I'm part of you

Stay with me, sing me to sleep
I dream of waking next to you
But my light is gone
Stay with me, sing me to sleep
I dream of dreaming next to you
But our time is gone

Please stay with me
I'm broken, too tired to fight
Kiss me soft and hold me close
Until I'm a memory gone

Please sing me to sleep
I’m ready to fade with the night
Don’t cry too hard, just promise
You'll live even without me

Don’t be sad, my love
You gave me skies of blue
Deep in the heart you made my home
Forever, I'm part of you

Stay with me, sing me to sleep
I dream of waking next to you
But my light is gone
Stay with me, sing me to sleep
I dream of dreaming next to you
But our time is gone

Stay with me
Sing me to sleep
Please let me go

I will miss you
I will always love you
Bye, bye
Goodbye my, love

Goodbye, my love!
