Jaalid Shines on “Paradox”

Boston has a bright newcomer to root for. Jaalid, the Beantown crooner, drops his debut single "Paradox" and its a banger. The record is a mixed of R&B with an extra bop. 2015 looks to be a big year for Jaalid.

"This song stems from the trials and tribulations one goes through when attempting to be successful in an industry that most people think is amazing—but in reality it's very stressful," he told FADER. "I have noticed that those who become successful in this industry do not always turn out to be as happy as they anticipated. During my journey to become an established musician I’ve had moments where I feel greatness only to be trumped by thoughts of anxiety and doubt. I called this track 'Paradox' because sometimes doing what you love can cost you who you love and who you are."
