Jacob Alon on 'Fairy in a Bottle' - Queer Love, Becoming Yourself & Limerence
The ever first Scottish winner of the BBC Introducing Artist Of The Year, Jacob Alon sits down with Jamz to discuss 'Fairy In A Bottle' from their Mercury-nominated album, In Limerence.
Together, they piece together Jacob’s steps to becoming the acclaimed artist they are today, from escaping a childhood that felt very distant from their authentic self, through a challenging stint living in a van in Edinburgh, and discovering and nurturing a voice in music that helped express the inexpressible.
Jamz and Jacob also discuss the mind-altering alchemy and fantasy of infatuation as a theme through the song and album more broadly, reflect on the impact of ‘tragic’ or 'doomed' portrayals of queer relationships and reveal how a shared interest in quantum physics and astronomy developed with album producer and creative partner, Dan Carey.

Emma-Jean Thackray joins Jamz Supernova as they discuss ’Save Me’ from her Mercury Award shortlisted album, Weirdo.
Emma-Jean explores how music became a vehicle to express herself through personal tragedy, when speaking openly to friends and family didn’t seem possible.
Emma-Jean unpacks an album that is simultaneously a grief diary, sonically reflecting the rollercoaster of emotions one goes through when losing a loved one, whilst also honestly documenting her experience with neurodivergence, the superpowers and challenges that come with it.
Jamz and Emma-Jean also touch on confessional poetry and the influences of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton on her lyrical style, on the complexity of writing and performing through grief, and the bravery of the artist’s role in holding a mirror up to their audience.
