Miles Jenson breaks through with debut EP 'Sunshine Goldmine'

Rising singer-songwriter Miles Jenson has officially unveiled his long-awaited debut EP, 'Sunshine Goldmine', a sweeping, soul-stained introduction to an artist finding his voice by reclaiming it. Produced by Grammy-winning duo King Garbage (Jon Batiste, The Weeknd, Leon Bridges), the three-track release fuses vintage warmth with sharp introspection, drawing on everything from Stax soul to avant-pop and jazz balladry.

Out now, the EP includes the brand-new single 'Turn On A Dime', a tender, Chet Baker-inspired moment that explores the emotional tightrope between vulnerability and self-censorship in relationships. “It’s about trying to grow without shrinking yourself,” says Jenson. “You want to be careful with someone’s heart, but not to the point where you start losing pieces of your own.”

Across the record, Jenson balances theatrical flair with unflinching honesty. 'Sunshine Goldmine', the moody title track, spirals through a metaphor of drug-fuelled denial, while 'Country Club' pulls no punches in its critique of class and race in media myth-making. But even at its heaviest, the EP is lit from within by a quiet grace; born of survival, reflection, and a refusal to conform.

Jenson’s journey to 'Sunshine Goldmine' is as compelling as the music itself. After teaching himself piano as a kid and surviving addiction in his early 20s, he walked away from a major-label deal to preserve his creative autonomy. That decision led him to King Garbage and a collaborative process that finally felt true. “This EP is me honoring myself,” he explains. “I’ve never been this free.”

With tour plans on the horizon and a full-length album already in the works, 'Sunshine Goldmine' feels like the opening act of something big, a bold first statement from an artist unafraid to sit with discomfort, speak his truth, and turn heartbreak into something transcendent.
