Taste Test: Jeni Schapire juggles a stale ‘Casual’ relationship

Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones

The dating scene is so ridiculous these days. Casual relationships feel like a new normal ⏤ and it all feels just meaningless. Indie pop singer-songwriter Jeni Schapire, one of our favorite new discoveries this year, finds herself wound tight in such a romance (if you can even call it that tbh). “Casual” fully confronts an in-between relationship that feels stale and simply treads water, as a tsunami breaks the horizon in the distance. “Tell me is this casual enough for you?” she pleads, breaking her vocal chords in half. In doing so, she reclaims her worth as someone deserving of full commitment, not a half-hearted shrug at a dive bar somewhere.
