Jubilee by Japanese Breakfast
Jubilee is an album by Japanese Breakfast, released in 2021. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 37 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Be Sweet”, on 22 lists with a best position of #2.
Jubilee, the third album from Japanese Breakfast, came out on Dead Oceans on June 4, 2021, just after Michelle Zauner published her memoir Crying in H Mart. After years spent writing through grief, Zauner said she wanted this one to be about joy, and you can hear her mean it: the dream-pop shimmer is still there, but the indie pop underneath is brighter, bolder and wearing a grin.
"Paprika" bursts with color, "Be Sweet" is a glossy, strutting bid for tenderness, and "Slide Tackle" slinks along on a groove, with Craig Hendrix keeping the pulse. Critics loved the joy and the production alike. It was the Philadelphia band's first record to reach the Billboard 200, picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album, and won 4 Libera Awards, Record of the Year among them.
