Born to Taiwanese immigrants, California-based JVNA combines her classical piano background and innate songwriting prowess to craft electronic melodies that juxtapose light with shadow, authenticity with synthetics.

The rising star makes her captivating comeback with “Play With You,” a track championing female empowerment and signaling a departure from her earlier sound that she established on “Hope In Chaos.” This single, slated as the premier from her upcoming album, underscores JVNA’s intent to make a name for herself and seize the reins of the indie electronic zeitgeist. She flaunts her versatile voice, oscillating between spoken rap and mellifluous singing, and is intensified by potent basslines and dynamic synths. The new direction hints at a persona shift—less the melancholic muse and more the commanding antagonist. JVNA shares her vision for “Play With You,” envisioning an anime demoness tactically seducing adversaries only to vanquish them. However, the song’s core is about mastering one’s destiny amidst life’s adversities. JVNA’s lyrics challenge gender dynamics, addressing her experiences in a male-dominated sphere: ‘the boys think that I’m here for company, but I’m conducting all the symphonies.’ With inspirations from alt-pop, J-pop, K-pop, anime, gaming, and trance, you can expect the album to lean into similarly compelling narratives, rich story-telling, and sonic world-building.
