With her sophomore album Jawbreaker, Sam Quealy cements her status as one of pop’s most daring new voices. Like the cult candy it’s named after, is bold, addictive, and dangerously fun — a sugar-coated explosion of chaos, glamour, and emotion. Produced alongside longtime collaborator Marlon Magnée (La Femme) between their Paris home studio and the legendary Studio Ferber, the album marks a striking evolution from Blonde Venus (2023). Here, Quealy trades the sharp edges of techno-pop for a lush, disco-infused sound, blending live instrumentation and cinematic sheen with her trademark anarchic energy. The result is a record that feels liberating, hedonistic, and deeply human — a vibrant antidote to modern gloom. From the euphoric escape of “Londontown” to the dark romance of “Love Lasso”, and the shimmering pop fantasy of “Girl's Night”, Quealy channels a thousand versions of herself — club queen, rock diva, dreamer, and provocateur. The ethereal duet “By My Side” with Magnée closes the album in a haze of tenderness and light. A multidisciplinary artist — singer, dancer, performer, and visual visionary — Quealy extends her universe through spectacular music videos and high-energy live shows that merge fashion, choreography, and raw emotion. On stage, she’s magnetic: a whirlwind of hyper-femininity and power, commanding every room with unfiltered authenticity. With Jawbreaker, Sam Quealy delivers a fearless pop statement — an exhilarating fusion of sensitivity, chaos, and self-expression that confirms her as a genre-defying visionary ready to take over the world.
