CREATIVE CONVERSATIONS 147: JACK WHISKEY & KEIRA JAS ON REMAINING STRANGE

Interview by Brooke Gibbs

With its sun-soaked warmth and effortless charm, Remain Strange is a joyful ode to individuality — the kind of song that feels as freeing as it is heartfelt. For Jack and Keira, the track came together in a moment of pure ease, written on a back porch during a hazy, laughter-filled afternoon. What started as a casual writing session quickly turned into something more meaningful, with the song’s uplifting message emerging naturally from their shared creative energy and friendship.

Having previously teamed up on Old Expressions, the duo have continued to evolve their collaborative dynamic, leaning further into authenticity and spontaneity. Where their earlier work explored nostalgia, Remain Strange captures something lighter and more immediate — a celebration of quirks, connection, and being unapologetically yourself. It’s a song born not from intention, but from instinct, and that’s exactly what makes it resonate.
