Jean Tan has returned with a new single.
On 10 March, the homegrown singer-songwriter released 'dance' through global digital music company Believe Music and record company LEEWAY.
The calming, dreamlike song, a collaboration with Singaporean music producer Evanturetime and fellow artist Joanna Dong, sees the artist returning to her jazz roots with signature scat singing accompanied by a saxophone solo during a memorable instrumental section.
Described as an "exploration of blossoming happiness", Jean uses the idea of a dance between lovers — a metaphor for a relationship that has evolved from the initial phase of simply being swept off their feet to one that is stable, secure, and sees both partners creating a safe space with each other.
The sweet, moving lyrics together with Jean Tan's jazzy vocals and a whimsical-sounding melody evoke an unmistakable sense of sentimentalism.

On her new single, Jean shared: "Tis a special one. for those of you familiar with my music from yonks ago, ‘dance’ was originally written in a different context, but is now rewritten as an ode to the next season of family."
She added: "Exciting times ahead - but for now, a k-poppish vibe to share with y’all."
'dance' is Jean's second single of 2023 which will be included in her forthcoming EP slated to be released by May this year.
