Garden - Jayden Keita (R&B) Jayden Keita slips into our ears this week with his smooth R&B Jam “Garden.” The up and coming Minnesota born but Tampa Bay, Florida based artist tells us that his latest track is “about feelings of jealousy . . . watching friends achieve incredible things and feeling like I’ve fallen behind.” Sporting a silky baritone, Jayden evokes Sam Smith in his vocal styling, while adding a layer to the bittersweet jealousy by reminding himself that he’s on his own journey and he should just keep going. The production centers Jayden with few gimmicks, allowing the strength of his vocals to carry the song as a lush instrumental supports him. Relatable, positive and boasting maturity, we definitely thing Jayden’s time is now and he will will receive plenty of flowers to populate his garden.
Best Lyric: “It seems they got their flowers before me.”
