Seattle-based artist J. HENRY announces “Cancun Wedding”, a breezy, bilingual track about the intoxicating magic of vacation romance, arriving May 5th on all streaming platforms. The single marks the latest release from his highly anticipated sophomore concept album Everything is Glowing, set for release this summer.
“Cancun Wedding” finds J. Henry at his most playful and unguarded, weaving a story of two people meeting poolside in Mexico – both just there for the vibes; both completely captivated. The track pulses with the reckless tenderness of a connection that exists outside of real life, where strangers become lovers then memories in the span of a few sun-drenched days.
“This song is about those moments that feel like they exist in a snow globe,” says J. Henry. “You know it’s temporary. You know you’re both going home to your real lives. But for a second, you let yourself fall into something beautiful and a little reckless. That’s its own kind of love story.”
