His first since his 2015 debut, the album was co-produced by Ziyad Asrar of the band Whitney, and returns to some jewel-box era teen influences out of step with the chill/lo-fi LA indie rock scene he’s found himself lumped in with. Jimmy Whispers has returned with a new LP The Search For God out June 9th on Carpark Records. He’s got his sobriety, a new commitment to making life-affirming art, and a 1988 Buick Reatta. He’s become a co-writer for others including Drugdealer and Dent May. He's got a blossoming new career as a music video director and filmmaker. The song and album are available for purchase. The Whispers has become one of the top R&B artists in the 2023 music scene, delighting fans with a unique R&B sound. He's still making music-quite a lot of it. Award winning pianist David Nevue performs his original composition 'Overcome' from the album of the same name. As for today, Jimmy Whispers is alive and well in Los Angeles. If you caught a glimpse, it was exciting, but it was just a warm-up to his second act. Legendary critic Jessica Hopper once called him the city’s “greatest new homegrown musical enigma,” and he turned a mixtape of iPhone voice memos (Summer in Pain) into a profound racket, that saw him perform at the Pitchfork Music Festival and earn praise from that outlet and places like Stereogum, Spin, BrooklynVegan, VICE, NME, and many others. In another lifetime, he was that sweet kid from Chicago who stole our hearts with his aw-shucks Midwestern attitude and his knack for writing catchy old-time melodies. A lot has changed for everyone over the 8 years since Jimmy Whispers released his debut LP, especially for Jimmy himself.
