Emerging singer-songwriter Ian Harrison steps into the spotlight with the release of his debut EP Jealous, a deeply personal seven-track project exploring insecurity, longing, self-discovery, and the emotional uncertainty that often defines young adulthood.
Built around themes of comparison and emotional vulnerability, Jealous captures Harrison navigating a complicated season of life with striking honesty. Rather than hiding behind polished perfection, the rising artist leans fully into discomfort, using the project as both confession and reflection.
“I chose Jealous as the title because I truly feel that it sums up the season of life I was in writing a lot of these songs,” Harrison explains. “It was a strong emotion for me for a long time as I was dealing with comparison, and being young.”
He adds, “I hope anyone listening to this EP really feels like they know me a little bit better and who I am as a person. I wanted this project to help people know that their experiences are real and others are dealing with the same thing.”
Featuring previously released singles “Games,” “Cigarette,” and “Not Yours,” alongside four brand new tracks, Jealous unfolds like a journal entry from someone trying to make sense of life while watching everyone else appear to have it figured out already. Across the project, Harrison examines rejection, faith, complacency, and emotional isolation with a sincerity that feels refreshingly unfiltered.
Rather than treating jealousy as something purely destructive, Harrison reframes it as a signal pointing toward deeper truths about identity, purpose, and self-worth. That emotional complexity gives the EP its strongest moments, particularly on tracks like “What Happens Next” and “Feeling Nothing,” where uncertainty becomes both the conflict and the catalyst for growth.
Sonically, the project blends intimate singer-songwriter storytelling with modern pop sensibilities, allowing Harrison’s emotional delivery and lyrical clarity to remain front and centre. There’s a conversational honesty running through the record that makes even its most personal moments feel widely relatable.
The release arrives shortly after Harrison completed a successful opening run for Cooper Alan across the U.K. and Ireland, where he quickly earned attention from audiences and critics alike. Entertainment Focus praised the emerging artist’s performances, writing that Harrison “didn’t just warm up the crowd — he staked a claim.”
With Jealous, Ian Harrison introduces himself not as someone with all the answers, but as an artist unafraid to sit honestly inside the questions. It’s an emotionally grounded debut that captures the confusion, reflection, and quiet resilience of finding your way through your twenties.
