Updated 04/23/2022: You don’t know Jai Wolf like you think you do. After hundreds of millions of streams on indie-dance anthems like “Indian Summer” and “Starlight,” blockbuster festival sets from Indio to India, and co-signs from the likes of Skrillex and ODESZA, it’s clear from the opening notes of Jai Wolf’s long-awaited debut album The Cure to Loneliness that he sees the expectations around his name as an opportunity to challenge convention.
The Cure to Loneliness finds Jai Wolf completing his evolution from upstart bedroom remixer to future bass DJ to builder of lush musical worlds. While still very much dancefloor-focused, some tracks on the LP conjure the angular riffage of The Strokes and Phoenix, weave melodies through the sugary happysad of M83 and CHVRCHES, or build up walls of sound like Explosions in the Sky—all while maintaining the melodious polish and evocative groove to which fans have grown so close.
“In my heart, this album is me,” says Jai Wolf. “From the sounds to the lyrics, it’s everything that I’ve always wanted to do.” Taking a different approach to many of his contemporaries under the wing of indie darling label Mom+Pop (Courtney Barnett, Flume, Jagwar Ma, Alina Baraz), Jai Wolf largely eschewed singles over the course of two years to patiently craft The Cure to Loneliness. The result is a thoughtfully framed, confidently expressed musical vision that will tug at heartstrings in 2019 and long beyond.

Around The World
Jai Wolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Halfway around the world
I thought I'd be halfway around the world with you
Halfway around the world
I wanna be halfway around the world with you
Halfway around the world
I wanna be halfway around the world with you
Halfway around the world
Halfway around the world
I thought I'd be halfway around the world with you
Halfway around the world
I wanna be halfway around the world with you
Halfway around the world
I wanna be halfway around the world with you
Halfway around the world
The lyrics to Jai Wolf's Now Now's song "Around The World" seem to express a sense of longing and disappointment. The repeated refrain of "I thought I'd be halfway around the world with you" speaks to a feeling of not quite living up to one's own expectations. The singer had envisioned a grand adventure with someone they cared about, but that dream has yet to come to fruition. Despite this disappointment, the desire to travel and explore the world with this person remains strong, as expressed by the repeated line "I wanna be halfway around the world with you". The repetition of this phrase underscores its importance and emphasizes the singer's longing for connection and adventure.
The song's upbeat electronic sound contrasts with the somewhat melancholy lyrics, creating a bittersweet tone. It's a song that seems to capture the feeling of being on the cusp of something great, but not quite getting there. Despite the disappointment expressed in the lyrics, there is a sense of hopefulness and determination. The desire to travel and explore with someone special is a powerful motivator, and the song seems to suggest that even if the dream is deferred, it's worth holding onto.
