WHAT IT IS: Toronto-born, L.A.-based JP Saxe always finds a way to dig beneath the surface, tapping into universal emotion, as exhibited on his powerful breakout single, “The Few Things,” in 2018. More recently, Saxe dropped his six-track debut EP, Hold It Together, which includes the FINNEAS-produced “If the World Was Ending” f/Julia Michaels. The heartfelt duet, which possesses the same heartstring-tugging energy as Saxe’s previous releases, has drawn the support of artists such as Shawn Mendes, Gwen Stefani, Alessia Cara and Lewis Capaldi, while landing on high-profile playlists like Spotify’s Today’s Top Hits and Apple Music’s A-List Pop in the #1 position.
