When we start a conversation anything can happen; it could be the average mundane small-talk, the last words exchanged between two people, the start of a life-changing relationship. Even though questions like “hey, how are you?” seem simple, the answers also hold so much potential. Jayli takes this idea of possibility and puts it into her euphoric, sun-baked anthem which takes organic percussion, warm bass and bubbling synths to create a sense of emotional connection. Floating over this kinetic mix are Jayli’s airy vocal hooks, alongside the live sax and guitar. Emphasising this sincere, human touch are small details that the artist has intricately woven into the melodic-house production, including the sound of her grandfather’s clock and a field recording of the Bali jungle.

‘Hey, How Are You?’ is a rare cinematic single to the dance music scene, one that dips below the surface level with a touching intimacy that reminds us of our human for connection. It also wouldn’t go amiss in a festival set or blasting across the dance-floor thanks to its detailed, expansive sound. With over a decade of experience on show here, Jayli’s new track is not to be missed.
