Deshun Jeston- “Symptoms of Heartbreak” PROJECT

 Deshun Jetson released his first project on August 5th called “Symptoms of a Heartbreak” and it's hitting all the feels. From top to bottom, themes of emotional grief, heartbreak, breakups, and despair are heard from the young musician who’s instagram post on the release date gave some transparency as to what inspired his lyrical content: “I Spent a year and a half working on this project trying to recover from the darkest time in my life. I was stuck in a toxic relationship that was hard to get out of and I lost my little cousin on September 8th, 2021. These songs are filled with a lot of raw and unfiltered emotions showcasing heartbreak…” The intro track is a quick mix of what one’s playlist may sound like after a bad breakup, using songs by recognizable artists like Tory Lanez and Aaliyah before the second track “Time You Wasted” begins, kicking off Jetson’s own heartbreak playlist essentially. Outside of the ability to express himself emotionally, “Symptoms of a Heartbreak” is proof of his skill and talent as a musical engineer and producer as well. The sonic choices that were made were very contrary to the norm of today’s culture of heavy 808s and base. Instead, the sound of this project is that of a classic garage band; the production consists mostly if not completely of the sounds of live instrumentation and raw melodic vocals, cleverly giving us a holistic experience of what true expression sounds like.  Tell me how YOU feel about “ Symptoms of a Heartbreak ” Milwaukee. /Naomi-Re’a for CW
