Seattle-born singer-songwriter Jaymes Young is best known for his intimate duet with Phoebe Ryan, "We Won't"—a song about the highs and lows of a tumultuous love that has clocked millions and millions of plays since its release in 2015. But we were hot on this bedroom producer way back in 2013. Back then his sonic confessionals like "Dark Star" were sexily downtempo. Now, nearly two years later, Young returns with "Stoned on You," which we're premiering below. It's a song that zeroes in once more on those romantic mind-altering highs. "The song is about being totally infatuated with someone," Young says, "To the extent that it's really an intoxicating experience."In his sultry falsetto he sings, "Nothing else burns like you / Ripping my shirt off you." El scorcho! Go on then.
