Jana Diab Releases Follow Up Single “So Stupid”
Pop experimentalist Jana Diab has released a new song titled “So Stupid” (Interscope Records). Produced with collaborator Couros, “So Stupid” is the follow up to Jana’s debut single “Escape Plan” released last month. Jana flexes her songwriting pen once again on this track to emote raw feelings about a one-sided toxic relationship. Produced with collaborator Couros and co-written with Orlando Gianni, Jana’s vocals effortlessly glide on the production.
Speaking on the track’s meaning, Jana shared:
“So Stupid” is about the emotional turmoil and struggles of a toxic one-sided relationship. Specifically, it’s about constantly feeling undervalued and unwanted, battling with the perpetual sense of not being good enough. With all the struggles, you still stay in the relationship out of habit and lingering affection, extending the cycle of toxicity. — Jana Diab
“Escape Plan” was a stunning debut from the 22-year old singer/songwriter and was immediately praise by the likes of Uproxx, Sweety High, GQ Middle East and more. The song came alongside a Kid Apollo directed music video that was shot in her hometown of Cairo, Egypt capturing the love for her city through her eyes, watch here.
About Jana Diab —
Pop experimentalist Jana Diab can’t help but wear her heart on her sleeve. The 22-year-old London-based singer and musician makes songs that blend raw vulnerability with outsized angst, drawing in listeners who can hear their own pain and longing expressed elegantly in her music. Born in Cairo and moving to London when she was 10, Jana’s mother would take her to theatre and Broadway shows where she became enamored by the production of it all; ultimately inspiring Jana to create her own musical soundscape. Jana’s sound pulls more from the kaleidoscopic, avant-garde pop of Lorde, Half Waif, or Saya Gray than from the Arab music she heard at home as a child; while her songwriting is an honest portrayal of a 20-something third culture kid making sense of everyday life. Jana speaks passionately about how her dual background has offered the perspective to ask life’s biggest questions and challenge the status quo. She does so with an effusive charm that is so infectious that you can’t help but ride along as she embarks on this exciting new chapter. Signed to Interscope Records in 2023, Jana Diab is now at work on her debut body of work.
