CHANGES

Sol Selectas presents the first solo EP from long time contributor Jean Vayat. Originally from Kiev, Ukraine, Jean relocated to Los Angeles in 2022, and has been fine tuning his unique sound, which combines elements of Organic, Tribal, Eastern Melodies, and a touch of Indie Dance as well. For his solo EP “Changes” we have 3 original songs, which vary in style, as well as one remix from fellow Ukrainian artist Emrat. 

Changes features Persian singer Mohsen Neshom, and is a powerful dance floor tune which combines trippy bass with cosmic synth stabs and beautiful Persian vocals. The song is a dedication to the Ukrainian soldiers fighting a senseless war right now, and the title refers to Jean’s own shift in his musical sound, from downtempo to more dance floor energy. 

Good Morning is a fun feel good tune which was cooked up by Jean after a delightful breakfast at his newly found home in sunny Los Angeles. The vocals are chopped in a playful way with the catchy melodic hook. 

Trayam Baban was inspired by Jean’s first night out in LA, hearing the tribal afro sounds of label owner Sabo. The song incorporates an Indie Dance groove, mixed expertly with Indian Vocals and sharp percussive elements. 

The remix by Emrat smooths out the original taking us into blissful organic house territory, with tribal percussion and deep chords and pads.

The cover by Helia Jamali takes us through a portal, to a parallel universe of constant changes.
