“...But God, I’m a hot mess!”
Can you be a Christian whilst battling depression?
This is a question JUMEE has been trying to answer for years.
Knowing God but not knowing himself, is this possible? Can you really know God
if you battle with anxiety?
“People don’t see it because I’m upbeat a lot of the time, but when
I’m by myself, the low points can hit really hard...”
Described by most as the life and soul of the party, JUMEE
describes himself as an extroverted introvert. “People often see us as this
‘big confident character’ because some of us can do things that most people
can’t; such as making music and performing onstage, but our self-image
can be really low.”
“In secondary school, one of my youth leaders would always tell me
that ‘you are wonderfully and fearfully made’ (Psalms 139:14) but I never knew
what it meant” JUMEE recounts, “I didn’t have a revelation of what it meant.
Now I know that it means that God took His sweet time in making you. He made everything
about me, including my flaws!” JUMEE recounts, “God kept asking me to sing for
Him, but I kept saying... ‘But God, I’m a hot mess!’”
JUMEE now believes and knows that He has been selected not for his
perfections but for his imperfections. “God isn’t interested in what makes us
perfect... HE makes us perfect! He is interested in the selection of
imperfections that makes us, us; and these imperfections steer our life’s
purpose.”
JUMEE is now a Christian R&B/Trapsoul Singer and Dancer from
the depths of Southeast London with a sound unique to the Christian community;
merging modern atmospheric New Age R&B, Soul, Pop and cultural elements of
Afrobeats, Reggaeton and The Word. You’ve probably seen him around in a film or
advert or two, or seen him before ‘getting his life’ onstage. His new song, ‘Falsetto’ helped him to get through some of the hardships he
experienced in his mind.
Falsetto, the latest song from JUMEE, which
is based on Colossians 3:2 states that you should ‘keep your mind on heavenly
things above and not on earthly things’, helped JUMEE to relax and focus his
mind. The sound can be described as ambient trap music with soulful vocals that
creates a mood and vibe that takes listeners to another place.

Falsetto Lyrics
Verse One
Keep your mind set on higher things
Don’t be blinded by the temporary
Keep your eyes on the finish line
Falsetto, falsetto, falsetto yeah
Observing daily waiting for Thy Kingdom come
As it is in heaven so thy will be done
On earth
Set your sight up above it
We in this world but not of it
Keep your mind on higher things
Falsetto (x5)
Keep your mind on higher things Falsetto (x5)
(Keep your mind, keep your mind)
Chorus
In Falsetto, ooh, in falsetto, ooh
Keep your mind in
In falsetto
Falsetto, ooh
Verse Two
But I know you want a new bae so bad
And I know you revving up for
that bag
Gotta get another post out to that gram Let me tell ya, no no
Better take it slow
Don’t be letting these things take up all of your time that’s a no
no no no
New bag that new fame that new car
Don’t let them take the space in your heart
They won’t fill you inside
And you’ll have to wave bye bye
When you run out of time
Oh no
Falsetto (x5)
Keep your mind on higher things
Falsetto (x5)
(Keep your mind, keep your mind)
Chorus
In Falsetto, ooh, in falsetto, ooh Keep your mind in
In falsetto Falsetto, ooh
