1)New York City-based artist Jack Braun ’24, known as “Jackfruit,” establishes themself as your new favorite “queer kid bedroom pop” sensation. Jackfruit, who uses they/them pronouns, is faithful to bedroom pop’s beloved conventions with intimate vocals and contemplative, confessional and clever lyrics.
The subject matter of their discography spans an array of topics such as heartbreak and, in their single “blacknailpolish,” queerbaiting. In the song, they emphasize the harmful nature of the frequent performativity of today’s TikTok “femboys,” opening with the lines, “You bought black nail polish at a CVS / So you could look cool in front of all your dinner guests.” Their discography consistently takes on a young, queer and honest voice.
Jackfruit’s single “I had gay sex with god (it could’ve gone better)” portrays an unhealthy relationship from the perspective of a speaker who refers to their abusive partner as “God.” Their relationship is depicted through the running religious references, which make for moving moments, such as the lines, “But now god won’t return my texts / I guess he was only out for sex / As close to heaven as I’ll get,” which, in Jackfruit’s words, is “about intimacy with a divine spirit being the closest you can get to divinity yourself.”
“I had gay sex with god (it could’ve gone better)” is also one of the four tracks making up Jackfruit’s latest release and debut EP, when they find your body. The EP, written and released in February, blossomed with the help of the artistic community that persisted at Kenyon during the fall semester and served as a creative “incubator,” as Jackfruit puts it. At the time, the intimate nature of music had proven to be especially valuable in creating a sense of connection during a time of social isolation. Jackfruit’s EP provides the feeling of a communal space for people in quarantine during the pandemic.
In an interview with the Collegian, Jackfruit spoke about the complex relationship between artists and listeners; they said that the experience of having others interact with their work and form independent relationships to their art and voice was something they never could have fully understood until they had gone through it themself, and that they know that “music is such a unifier.”
Though when they find your body certainly feels fully realized on its own, Jackfruit also refers to it as a period of growth. They explained that through the process of writing, recording and producing it, they moved from a phase of seeing music as an option or dream to an actualized “making music phase.” They also cited having their song added to the popular playlist of Claud Mintz, another musician who they regard as a “real” artist, as helping them begin to better recognize their own legitimacy. Jackfruit, owning their status as a musician, says that, moving forward, they hope to continue to build up their discography by working on “longer-term projects” that are even more “fine tuned.”

The bands description by themselves:
Mary Mother of God is that for real?” might be what you’d say if you watched a group of nuns playing skeetball with grapes and a hockey puck. But after hearing the simple wizardry of four young slingers enchanting you with the right solution of monster bass lines, smooth, molten piano rolls and a slap of supple drum beats, it’s the only response. With an eclectic musical style and maelstrom of motormouth lyrics Jackfruit has broken ties from genres and classifications creating their own unique bricolage too mind-blowing to pigeon-hole.
