What are the inspiration and meaning behind both your chosen moniker Jai Wolf and your new album title, “The Cure to Loneliness?” If this might seem a bit abstract, you needn’t worry, as Jai Wolf himself met with Entertainment Voice to offer an inside look into his ideas, his craft and the new record. For the album, Wolf recruited disparate singers, tapping into a wide range of sounds and sensibilities in a sphere at the juncture of indie and electronic sensibilities, while still painstakingly making sure that the songs fit into a collective, conceptual whole, in tune with both his evolving artistic proclivities and his general world view. At the same time, it reflects a definite evolution in style, and showcases a long-emerging aesthetic at its most pronounced yet. It’s a festive, effervescent affair at large, sure to mobilize dance floors and soundtrack many a festival. “The Cure to Loneliness” is Jai Wolf’s most thoroughly realized work yet. Instead, he’s released music that undeniably evokes the same sensations as “Indian Summer,” but by means of a much wider, greater sound palette. Since then, Wolf has built on the momentum, and soared to new heights, but opted not to limit himself to the lame rehashing of a hit formula that so many artist sadly resort to.
If there’s anyone to epitomize the EDM frenzy of recent years, it would be Skrillex, and it was Skrillex himself who helped bring Jai Wolf to serious public attention, after coming across his 2014 remix of “Ease My Mind.” Having properly honed his production craft, Wolf kept turning out bangers of remixes, but suddenly took leaps and bounds with his breakthrough single “Indian Summer.” Drawing from his Eastern heritage, the song threw an exciting, exotic touch into the burgeoning sound in a way that resonated with the world manifold. A case in point is producer Jai Wolf, who has just released his album “ The Cure to Loneliness. Among the innumerable characters that have risen to prominence in the scene, there are plenty interesting sounds, styles, and stories, and a slew of artists that have found their own unique ways of setting themselves apart, and forging sounds simultaneously in tune with the zeitgeist and inseparable from their individually realized aesthetics. Simultaneously, the boom inevitably came along with many short-lived trends and plenty elaborate farce. On one hand, a form of music that was always immediately invigorating and viscerally engaging finally received the attention it long deserved. Throughout the last decade and change, the electronic dance music scene has been something of a circus.
