Mike Wass At a time when songwriting and production credits often run for pages, JVKE’s “golden hour” is a distinct outlier. From its piano intro and rap-sung verses to the soaring chorus and strings-adorned outro, the genre-defying track is the handiwork of a genuinely DIY artist and his brother, Zac Lawson. Over the course of four months, the siblings chipped away at the song, staying true to their vision and unexpectedly crafting one of 2023’s biggest hits.
“I was blown away by the intricacy of it, both from a melodic and musical standpoint,” Lawson says of JVKE’s original demo. The brothers began tinkering with the pre-chorus and then fine-tuned the chorus. “After the rapped verse, I felt like the chorus should be really singable and anthemic,” he remembers.
Instead of rushing, the brothers would return to the song every now and again. After all, it didn’t necessarily scream “single.” “It wasn’t as hooky or upbeat as a lot of the other stuff that we were working on, but we knew we had a beautiful piece of art,” Lawson says. “And we wanted to market it as such.” That involved taking a different approach than previous singles “Upside Down” and “This Is What Falling In Love Feels Like,” which both had sizable viral moments, but couldn’t quite crossover from social media to DSPs and radio.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Love hurts, and so, if you’re a Gram Parsons fan, does the idea that the world has had to do without him for 50 years, as of September of this year. Imagining how his style might have changed over the subsequent half-century is never-ending, as is conjecturing how he might have simply have brought the world closer to his own fearless hybrid of country and rock, with more years to grow his audience after what amounted to a mere five-year heyday.
