Jayson’s DJ pick: “One Thing Right” by Bedouine

Jayson’s DJ pick of the week is “One Thing Right” by Bedouine. Bedouine is the project of Azniv Korkejianis, a Syrian-American, folk-pop musician, based out of Los Angeles. Her track “One Thing Right”, off her album “Neon Summer Skin”, sings to the comfort of knowing your partner is the one for you even when everything else in your life feels wrong. Bedouine describes her songwriting on this album to be shaped by Todd Rundgren, Karen Carpenter, and Carole King, taking heavy influence from singer songwriters of the 70’s. Through this track Bedouine dances through percussion and flute melodies wrapping listeners up into an airy, summer synchronicity letting her influences shine through.
