Jelani Blackman offers up new single ‘Pattern’
“I’ve wanted to have a tune like this out for the longest time.”
DIY Class of 2021 alum Jelani Blackman is sharing his sizzling new single ‘Pattern’.
“I’ve wanted to have a tune like this out for the longest time,” he explains. “I love summer and for me, this is exactly what I would be listening to at this time of year, so I’m happy that I could make something to vibe to. It’s about life and how it dips and moves in mad ways, but you can always just go with whatever happens.”
