Atlantic Records Welcomes IV Jay To Iconic Roster With Debut EP

Atlantic Records/So Amazing have announced IV Jay as the latest member of its legendary roster via a Billboard exclusive this morning. The 16-year-old R&B singer-songwriter's eagerly anticipated debut EP, "IV," is available today at all DSPs and streaming services.

"IV" includes the new single, "Thirsty," available for individual streaming and download HERE. The track is joined by a companion video, streaming now via YouTube HERE and steadily nearing 1 million views. The video had its exclusive premiere last month via The FADER, who wrote, "(IV Jay) makes pop-leaning R&B propped up by sultry vocals... A confident and subtle flex, ('Thirsty') calls out all the desperate boys hitting up her phone and politely asks them to 'please, just leave me alone!' In the Jora Francis-directed video, IV Jay is dressed in all white dancing in an ornate cathedral and being pursued by shadowy crow-people. It's giving me major YA fantasy novel vibes (my favorite genre), and I'm here for it." Also released last month in conjunction with "Thirsty," is standalone single "Pretty Wings."

Alongside the launch of her debut EP, IV Jay is calling on all her fans to join the IV League. The IV League is an online and IRL community of women who are S.I.C.K. individuals. S.I.C.K. = Strong, Intelligent, Confident, and Kind. For more information and to stay up to date with what's to come, please follow @the.iv.league on Instagram!

At just 16 years old, IV Jay is well on her way to becoming a voice of change for her generation. The Paterson, NJ-born singer-songwriter first attracted online applause - and tens of thousands of followers - by posting a series of cover versions and original content. With her soulful voice and down-to-earth charm, IV Jay soon earned a deal with Atlantic Records and immediately set to work creating "IV."

"I want to bring back love," IV Jay says. "We need more positive vibes."
