Jerome LOL
“Always” (f/ Sara Z)
Deleted/Fool (out 02.04.14 on Friends of Friends)
Ex-LOL Boy, current globetrotting DJ Jerome Potter has finally put the finishing touches on his first post-LOL Boys EP, and it should be a monster. The Los Angeles resident is an excellent DJ, but really excels as a producer and songwriter, thanks to his uncanny ability to draw maximum emotion out of the most unexpected places. While he is well-known for his remix work, nothing he did ever touched the devastating LOL Boys cut, “Changes,” which made an incredible statement about relationships with little more than six words. While not as mantric in nature, “Always” feels cut from the same cloth, as Potter weaves a jazzy, razor-sharp arraignment around an alluring vocal line from Sara Z. While there are definitely better DJs, remixers, producers, and songwriters out there, very few do all four of those things with the aptitude and heart of the former LOL Boy.
