Jaden Bojsen Channels ’90s Vocal House on New Single “Mama Used To Say”
Out now on Still Be Around, the new release trades late-night minimalism for soulful keys, warm organ chords and a hook built for the dance floor.
Jaden Bojsen returns with “Mama Used To Say,” a soulful house release built around punchy piano stabs, warm organ chords and a soaring vocal line. Driven by a deep, rolling bassline and a hook designed to stay with listeners, the track draws on the raw energy of ’90s vocal house while bringing its classic ingredients into sharper focus with modern club production. Released via Still Be Around, it delivers a warmer, more communal sound that feels primed for peak-time sets.
The single marks a clear shift from Bojsen’s previous release, “ERICA,” which arrived in June as his debut on Insomniac Records’ Gotta Move imprint. Built around spoken word and stripped-back tech-house grooves, that track leaned into a darker, late-night atmosphere. “Mama Used To Say” takes the opposite route, opening up through its soulful instrumentation and vocal-led arrangement. Together, the releases highlight Bojsen’s ability to move between different corners of house music without losing sight of the song at the centre of each production.
Based in Los Angeles, Bojsen is a DJ, producer and songwriter who creates much of his music from his home studio in California. He first came to prominence as the frontman of New District, named the most popular boy band of 2016 by BRAVO, and went on to win a US Teen Choice Award before turning his attention to dance music. His subsequent releases include “Let’s Go” and “Upside Down” with David Guetta via Spinnin’ Records, alongside his solo single “Lighthouse.”
Having performed at clubs and festivals across Europe, Asia and the US, including Ultra Music Festival, Bojsen continues to develop a sound that draws on different musical influences while keeping the dance floor in focus. With “Mama Used To Say,” he taps into the enduring appeal of classic vocal house, delivering a record that balances ’90s-inspired soul with contemporary club energy.
