Jydn Hill Shares New EP ‘Every Lie Is Two Lies’

It may be cuffing season but JYDN HILL isn’t ready to play the game — at least for now.

On his new EP, Every Lie Is Two Lies, the Canadian singer takes listeners on an emotional journey fueled by a breakup. The five-track EP includes the previously shared tracks “Lies,” “Shame On You” featuring Jeff Sanon and “3AM.” 

“The making of this project felt like I was rebuilding myself back up from all the things that I went through over the last couple of years, and having the ability to come to terms with those things and put it into music. It was necessary for my growth,” says JYDN HILL.

“When you lie it’s really two lies because you’re telling a lie to yourself and also to the other person. For the longest time I felt my art wasn’t authentic to me because I was trying to impress others so much, I felt like I was telling two lies. And now I feel like I’m really being my authentic self. So this really feels like a new beginning for me.”

On “Beginnings (demo),” HILL gets candid about an ex-lover not understanding his determination to pursue his dream of being an artist.

“‘Beginnings’ was one of the first songs I made when I set out on this journey of wanting to tell my story. Where I come from there’s a lot of normalcy around being comfortable in life and pushing our dreams to the side. It’s a small city with not a lot of opportunity and a lot of people get caught up in accepting life as it comes to them,” says HILL.

“My ex embodied that energy and she didn’t understand the sacrifices that came with me being a musician and me trying to live out a dream. I was working a 9-5 and then after my 9-5 I would be in the studio recording… and she just didn’t understand it. Me deciding to put a demo on this project is symbolic that not everything is perfect or has to be perfect. Why make something it something that it already is, you know? I wanted people to feel the same feeling as when I first made it.”

On “Stages,” the penultimate track, a new and improved HILL shows off his confident side. “I look at ‘Beginnings’ and ‘Stages’ as a two-year gap in my life. ‘Beginnings’ was me figuring out who I was at the beginning of the pandemic – figuring out who I was when the world stopped, and Stages was me after two years – having figured who I was as a person and an artist,” he explains.
