| GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, JP Saxe and GRAMMY® Award-winner (and fellow nominee for the 63rd Annual GRAMMY® Awards) Maren Morris, today release their thoughtful and impressively clever new collaboration titled “Line By Line” via Arista Records. The intricate and emotive lyrics were penned by Saxe, Morris and Jimmy Robbins (Maren Morris’s “The Bones”) in Nashville. The track is accompanied by a fantastical official music video starring both artists and is available now here. Saxe explains, “My first thought about this song is that it’s surreal I get to be sharing it with one of my favorite artists ever. Regarding what it’s about…as songwriters, we spend a lot of our lives trying to bottle up a feeling into a song, and often, the biggest feelings, the best ones… the complicated, detailed, messy, incredible ones… just aren’t going to fit. Line by Line is our recognition of that… of how one song just isn’t enough to capture it all, but how we’re just going to keep writing, futilely and lovingly, anyway.” Morris says: “I have always loved being contemplative of the artist vs. muse relationship in songs. ‘Line by Line’ acts as a promise that I’ll never be done writing about my muse in this life because he can’t be summed up in one song. Writing that day with JP was the most fluid, inspiring session. He’s a lyrical faucet. He threw out the line “immortalizing my sincerity” and it blew my mind. I think all in all, we wrote the whole song in an hour and immediately recorded it” ABOUT JP SAXE GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Toronto, JP Saxe, always finds a way to cut beyond the surface, lyrically tapping into a deep connectivity with universal emotion and human experience. In October 2019, Saxe released “If The World Was Ending” featuring GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist, Julia Michaels. The song resonated deeply with listeners around the world, which led to over one billion streams globally and over 120 million video views. The track reached number 14 in the Official UK charts and remained in the Top 40 for 12 weeks . Having gained early support at Radio 1 (Best New Pop) and Beats 1 (Zane Lowe), it has also been backed by Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon, Sunday Times Culture, Idolator, Wonderland, Hollywood and many more. Together, Saxe and Michaels performed their collab on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , The Late Late Show With James Corden , The 2020 MTV VMAs, NBC’s The Voice season finale and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. The track has been nominated for ‘Song of the Year’ for the 63rd GRAMMY® Awards. In February 2020, JP released his debut EP Hold It Together, which was critically praised by TIME Magazine for “exploring the weird – sometimes lovely – sometimes painful – emotions that bubble up in relationships” and included “3 Minutes” off the EP in their ‘5 Best Songs of the Week’ roundup. In October 2020, JP released his heart-rending ballad, “A Little Bit Yours” which he performed stripped back on piano for ABC’s Live with Kelly & Ryan as well as on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. Most recently, Saxe made his solo late-night tv debut on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! Saxe is set to release new music this winter, leading into his anticipated debut album out this spring.
