Last month, Jay Som released her stunning break-out album entitled Everybody Works which debuted on the Billboard Independent Album and Heatseekers charts, and earned her a "Best New Music" review from Pitchfork, as well as international accolades from the likes of New York Times, The New Yorker, NPR, Rolling Stone and many more. Today, the Bay Area artist shares a new original song for Our First 100 Days, a campaign which aims to help protect causes that are threatened by Trump's administration. On the new track called "Turn The Other Cheek," Melina Duterte once again showcases her ability to create irresistibly dreamy indie pop songs that at once fit in perfectly with the Jay Som catalogue while sounding nothing like anything she has released before. Listen to and purchase "Turn The Other Cheek" HERE.
