Australian artist Jeffrey Chan is a singer-songwriter and producer who introduced his distinctive sound to the world in 2017 with the debut single “Porsche.” Since then, his musical journey has been marked by a fusion of pop and retro influences, infused with a modern electronic edge.
With the release of his debut album FaultLine in 2018, Chan showcased his ability to blend retro pop, funk and dance elements into a hook-filled sound, marking his entry into the world of self-managed releases. Followed by multiple well-received singles and remixes, he’s continued to go from strength to strength and win over both fans and tastemakers around the world while racking up hundreds of thousands of streams of his music on Spotify alone.
Now based in Los Angeles, Jeffrey Chan is crafting the next chapter of his thrilling sonic vision. Bringing us his latest release, he shares his brand new single titled “Distance,” a magical musical experience that distils his forward-thinking synth pop sound and filters it through his sepia-toned sonic lens.
Melting the very best of 80s pop, funk and dance elements into a unique cocktail, with “Distance” Jeffrey Chan spins instantly catchy melodies, danceable rhythm and vibrant instrumentation into a shimmering pop anthem that presents a sound inspired by pioneers that came before for a modern audience. Opened by the bright plucks of chiming synth tones, deep bass rumbles below as the snap of a drum beat ushers in Jeffrey’s rich voice, carrying heartfelt lyricism via elegant melodies.
Brimming with grooving rhythm and furnished with an array of colourful synth tones to form the perfect setting for his expressive voice to float above, “Distance” is the latest infectious cut from an exciting artist who continues his inevitable rise. It’s a charming and instantly memorable track that’s impossible not to love.
Paired with the single is a cinematic music video that follows Jeffrey as he pulls up for gas at an isolated shack station. Seeing no one there, his journey becomes abruptly interrupted as he finds himself stuck out in the desert, trying to call for help from a payphone.
