Black Polish: Rising Queer Indie-Alternative Artist Shares New Single+Video for “Be With You”
Today, rising queer indie-alternative artist Black Polish aka Jayden Binnix (they/them)shares their new single “BE WITH YOU,” their first release since signing to BMG. The song is their first since the 2024 release of their debut album Forest, and was mixed by Damian Taylor (Björk, The Killers, Arcade Fire). “Seeking comfort in denial can only last for so long,” notes Black Polish of the track. “We yearn for each other for opposite, selfish, and destructive reasons. This one night stand has led to war, and I don’t even wanna be with you.” Black Polish has also shared the official music video for “BE WITH YOU,” directed by Gus Black (Phoebe Bridgers, Lizzy McAlpine, Foy Vance).
“This is how obsession starts: obvious denial. How dare you assume I crave a relationship? It’s not so much that I want to be with you, I just need you to love me,” Black Polish tells Alternative Press. Of the music video, they add, “Being in the pool with all the skaters while hearing the crowd sing along was how I knew this was going to be special. I was fighting back some manly tears the entire shoot. Seriously, it couldn’t have been more perfect.” Black Polish embarked on their musical journey at the age of 13. Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of artists including Fleetwood Mac, Nicki Minaj, Twenty One Pilots and Mitski, they released their debut album Forest last year. Black Polish brings a unique perspective to their interpretation of the world. Their presence is marked by a powerful assertion of identity which includes being a part of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. They also ardently champion mental health awareness while maintaining a heightened sensitivity towards other marginalized groups. Their rich tapestry of life experiences continues to inform Black Polish’s art and music.
