On Describe, Hannah Jadagu learns the hard way that distance is relative. After 2023 debut album Aperture garnered glowing praise from outlets like The New York Times and NPR, Jadagu's blossoming career took her away from her blossoming relationship in New York. "I was feeling love and gratitude, but also guilt about being away for my job," she recalled. "Being a musician requires sacrificing time–And one thing about me, I'm a quality time girlie." Her expansive second album sees her grappling with that separation, finding connections that extend beyond the physical and strengthening her own voice in the process. Describe verberates with that tension, between wanting connection and craving space. Its lyrics, as on her debut, ache with an emotional specificity that can only be pulled from lived experience. "I've been five thousand miles away," she sings over ricochetting hi-hats on "More"—"Why does three thousand feel like more?"
