San Diego-based artist Jboz is turning up the heat this summer with his latest single, “spend the night,” a sultry slow-burner that’s as much a confession as it is an invitation. Released on May 30, 2025, this track is a tantalizing glimpse into his upcoming album, Get Home Safe, and promises to solidify Jboz’s position as a rising star in the modern R&B scene.
If you crave the raw sensuality of Brent Faiyaz blended with the innovative sound design of a young Miguel, all wrapped in the visual ambition of a Frank Ocean, then Jboz is about to become your new obsession. “spend the night” is a mood, a memory waiting to happen, a soundtrack for those hazy, moonlit nights when desire and uncertainty dance in equal measure.
The track opens with a hypnotic groove, laying the foundation for Jboz’s smooth, layered vocals. The lyrics are a simple yet effective seduction, repeated like a mantra: “Come link, come through, look what you do to me.” It’s a call for connection, a whisper in the darkness, hinting at the power one person can hold over another.
But beneath the surface of this sensual invitation lies a deeper vulnerability. The lyrics delve into the complexities of fleeting relationships: “Whispers in the night, you know I’ll never love you out of spite. I’m caught up, is it wrong or is it right?” Jboz perfectly captures that liminal space where desire clashes with uncertainty, where the promise of intimacy is tempered by the fear of heartbreak.
This duality is the core of “spend the night,” a song that explores the push and pull between connection and chaos. It’s about the moments when you’re not sure if love is a genuine possibility or just a temporary escape. Jboz wants his listeners to feel that tension, that intoxicating blend of comfort and confusion.
“I hope listeners feel the duality in it—the comfort and confusion, the closeness and the distance. If it makes someone pause and reflect on a moment or a person they thought they forgot, then I’ve done my job.” – Jboz
“spend the night” serves as the opening invitation to Get Home Safe, a project Jboz describes as his most personal and ambitious to date. This 13-track album is designed to feel like a summer travel diary, with each song representing a different city, a new encounter, a new facet of himself. Set to drop soon, it brings his vision into sharper focus and shows he’s more than just a singer—he’s a creative force with something to say.
“It explores love, lust, spirituality, and self-discovery, all set against the backdrop of constant movement,” Jboz shares. Adding another layer of depth to the project is a short film, which will visually accompany the album, transforming it into a full sensory experience. This is where the “Frank Ocean-esque” ambition truly shines through, elevating Jboz beyond a simple R&B singer and establishing him as a true artist with a vision.
Jboz’s journey into music began as a way to express what words alone couldn’t capture. Drawing inspiration from artists like The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, and Forrest Frank, he learned to blend raw emotion with experimental sounds, crafting a style that is both intimate and expansive.
“Those guys showed me how to be experimental without losing the emotional core—how to talk about spirituality, love, and pain in a way that feels raw but still poetic,” Jboz says. “I started writing during some heavy personal moments, and it just evolved from there. Friends would hear my demos and encourage me to keep going. Eventually, that turned into late nights in the studio, chasing a sound that felt like me—honest, atmospheric, and ever-evolving.”
“spend the night” is a promise of what’s to come. It’s a chance to step into the world of Jboz, a world where music becomes a sanctuary, where vulnerability is a strength, and where the late-night hours are filled with the promise of connection. Sometimes, the most unforgettable moments happen when you simply “spend the night.”
