Jaz Karis’s latest EP Loud in the Water is a shimmering dive into modern R&B. Its standout single Ride is the wave. It carries listeners straight into her world of intimacy, reflection, and soulful groove.

🎶 The EP: Loud in the Water

Released October 24, 2025, Loud in the Water is a five-track project. It blends R&B, soul, and touches of amapiano into a fluid exploration of love. It also explores growth and self-assurance. Each track feels like a chapter in a journey:

• “On My Way” opens with buoyant energy, chasing a love that feels destined.
• “Alright” (feat. Joyce Wrice) flips the script with confidence, tackling double standards and emotional boundaries.
• “Easy” (feat. Joshua Baraka) reassures with patience and warmth.
• “Work2Hard” offers a breezy escape.
• “Ride” closes the project with intimacy and reflection, leaving listeners suspended in its glow.

Jaz herself describes the EP as being about movement — emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It’s about finding peace in the flow, even when things are uncertain. That sense of fluidity is what makes the project so cohesive and resonant.

🚗 The Spotlight Track: Ride

Ride is the EP’s emotional centerpiece and most popular single. Produced by MOMBRU and Hossy, the track is drenched in warm intimacy and soulful reflection. Jaz’s vocals glide effortlessly over the production, creating a soundscape that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

What makes Ride so magnetic is its duality: it’s tender yet confident, soothing yet powerful. It’s the track that invites you to slow down, breathe, and let the rhythm carry you. In the context of the EP, it’s the perfect closer. It’s a song that doesn’t just end the project. It lingers, echoing long after the last note fades.
