The sound

While they worked on Flight 370, Jett2Fly had indie rock and bedroom pop on repeat: Men I Trust, The Marías, Clairo. Over the year it took to make, that sound worked its way into the beats, and SyWavy even named a song after Clairo. The result is soft and mellow, a little wistful, with plenty of room for him to sing. Tour grew out of Not Used To, an unreleased early version of The Weeknd's The Town, and The Shining samples Love Through Her, another song of his that never came out. The closing song settles it: Flight 370 is an R&B album.

Track by track

Flight 370 takes its name from the airliner that vanished in 2014 and borrows that one image: something gone without a trace. Across twelve songs he's lost in different ways, grieving someone who died, watching a relationship come apart and seeing friends turn on each other, with flexes and love songs in between. The last stretch climbs toward hope, and the closer claims the whole record as R&B.

  1. 01Squish

    Takeoff in anger: a friend turns on him over a girl.

  2. 02Botanical Gardens

    Grief arrives: a song for someone he lost, with The Part Time Models.

  3. 03Tour

    A detour into lust and bravado, offering to take her on the road.

  4. 04Bermuda's Artifact

    Lost on purpose: he'd vanish into the Bermuda Triangle if she came.

  5. 05Clairo

    The softest stop, a love song built on Clairo's bedroom pop.

  6. 06Catch Flights & CRY

    Friends turn on one of their own, with The Part Time Models.

  7. 07Bulky Jewelry

    Bravado in gold chains and cartoon jokes, ending on a proposal image.

  8. 08We're Not sAFe

    The relationship starts sinking: arguments, baseball metaphors and the Titanic.

  9. 09Self Melting Love

    A warm spell: he falls hard and brings her home to the beach.

  10. 10Shadows

    Letting go: he ends it, though her shadow stays, with The Part Time Models.

  11. 11The Shining

    The past haunts him, then the light turns into hope.

  12. 12Can't Tell Me What It's Not

    The landing: a plea for closeness, and he claims the record as R&B.
