boylife tells P&P about how embracing collaboration became crucial in the process of creating his new album 'jones.' After advice from his friend Dijon that collaboration is the "cheat code" to elevating music, boylife worked with musicians including Harrison Whitford, Black Noise, Keshi, No Rome, and Porches—in addition to his producers and close friends Nick Velez and Daniel Chae. boylife's approach to collaboration is simple: he "lets them do their thing." He feels fortunate to work with creative directors DJ Jung and Albo (Chris Alborano) who understand his vision. The cover art for his new album emerged from "the depths of their freaky a*s souls," after the team synchronized with the album's emotional texture. The project balances sonic experimentation with raw vulnerability. Highlights include "junior," "Baby Chop," and "big strong." ‘jones’ is out now. __ #pigeonsandplanes #newmusic #boylife #jones #dijon #collaboration
