For the release of Like You Do—the second, English-language instalment of his double EP—JJ Lin is sharing four exclusive playlists on Apple Music. “Bedroom Stories” starts the clock at midnight. The lights are out, and heavy thoughts sneak in. “My nights are usually dreamy, with a tad of loneliness, and I imagine many people share my sentiments,” JJ tells Apple Music. Instead of rejecting those thoughts, JJ embraces this opportunity to be fragile—if only for one night. “It’s a time when I take time to reflect and become more aware of myself and my surroundings,” JJ says of those late hours. “I usually try to fall asleep, telling myself to let go of worries and regrets and that ‘it’s okay’. This allows me to look forward to a better day and better me, and wake up with a rejuvenated heart and mind.” His selections begin with light acoustic confessions by Gracie Abrams and Arlo Parks, an illuminating B-side favourite by The Weeknd and LANY’s memory-evoking anthem. The playlist is accentuated by JJ’s very own collaboration with honeyed crooner Anne-Marie and the inspiration for this playlist: “Bedroom”. Throughout, there are melancholy tunes that deal with broken hearts, lost memories and love-hate sentiments towards the world’s problems. At the same time, there are luminous, hopeful messages that brighten this mesmerising flow of sounds.
