JÁNA – Today

Swedish singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist JÁNA releases her new single “Today,” the third offering from her forthcoming debut album Orbit, out September 19th.

A dreamy alt-R&B track, “Today” explores nostalgia, the fast pace of modern life, and the longing to pause and stay in the present. With its intimate vocals and atmospheric production, the song captures the tension between constant forward motion and the desire to hold onto fleeting moments.

“The lyrics are heavily inspired by The End of the World by Skeeter Davis, where she sings about a love that has left her. I sing more from the perspective of time slipping away, becoming nostalgic for the present, for today,” JÁNA explains.

Produced in collaboration with Erik Bodin (Little Dragon), “Today” expands JÁNA’s sonic world with shimmering textures and her signature blend of warmth and melancholy. The single follows earlier releases “Distant” and “When Time Flies”, each revealing a different facet of the emotional landscape that Orbit navigates — from numbness and heartbreak to bittersweet reflection.

With over 4M Spotify streams and past collaborations including Little Dragon, Vic Mensa, and VanJess, as well as a songwriting credit on Stormzy’s This Is What I Mean, JÁNA has already established an international presence. Her music has been featured on BBC Radio 1, COLORSXSTUDIOS, and Spotify Oyster, and she has performed at festivals including SXSW, All Points East, and Way Out West, sharing stages with Leon Bridges and Little Dragon.

This fall, she will join Yukimi Nagano (Little Dragon) on tour, bringing her new material to international stages. With Orbit, JÁNA reconnects with her roots as a guitarist and self-producing artist, presenting her most honest and present work to date.
