Ottawa-via-LA rock/pop artist Jutes releases his newest single, “Vertigo,” today. The track is part of his upcoming sophomore album, Sleepyhead, set for early 2025. With a nostalgic nod to early 2000s pop/punk bands like Deftones and Linkin Park, “Vertigo” starts with a smooth, vibey intro and builds to a powerful, anthemic chorus. Produced by Keith Sorrells (Demi Lovato, Alessia Cara) and Alex Niceforo (John Legend, Rita Ora) of The Orphanage, the song explores the poignant theme of facing the transition into the afterlife and reflecting on one’s final moments on Earth.
Jutes, who has also written for artists such as Demi Lovato, Tomorrow X Together, Illenium, and Charlotte Sands, is experiencing a breakthrough with his current single, “Sleepyhead.” It is the fastest-growing track of his career, with over 100,000 streams daily. Having surpassed 8 million streams, “Sleepyhead” is climbing the Alt radio charts and has broken into the top 40. Featured on Spotify’s top editorial playlists like “The New Alt” and “New Noise,” the track has solidified Jutes as one of 2024’s most exciting emerging artists.
