Today, rising genre-bursting songwriter, singer and rapper Jez Dior releases his
anticipated debut studio album, Handle With Care. The 11 track project features
recent singles “Don’t You Worry” and “Please
Don’t Go,” along with previously released tracks
“Cocaine” and “Nobody Knows (ft. Jackson Guthy).”

On the heels of 50 million-plus streams, sold out shows, and acclaim from the
likes of Time, Billboard, Complex, Nylon, Hypebeast and beyond by 2019, Jez Dior
pulls together hip-hop, alternative, and pop into a powerful and personal
patchwork, sharing his struggles and story as if speaking candidly right from a
therapist’s couch. With an unbiased and unfiltered space for thoughts,
feelings and emotions, he encourages others to open up the same way.

About the record, he commented, “I’ve always used music as a form
of therapy and writing Handle With Care saved my life. This album is the story
of the first 27 years of my life and is the difference between me joining
‘The 27 club’ and living. The name comes from the fact that this
project is my entire life up until this point bundled up into something very
fragile and delicate—just like me. I wrote these songs while battling
depression and overwhelming anxiety, while dealing with heartbreak, death, and
psychological trauma. I know that this music will speak to and help anyone going
through similar situations. I can’t wait to share it with the
world.”

Written mainly over the course of the past two years with trusted collaborators
ROME of Sublime, Chris Wallace [Lost Kings, Sheppard) and Matt Rad , Handle With
Care captures those sentiments perfectly. Album highlight “On My Own
(featuring Goody Grace)” features an acoustic guitar that resounds through
a hazy beat as Goody’s soulful crooning gives way to confessional verses
from Jez. He and Goody lock into a hypnotic hook that immediately captivates.
Meanwhile, bright guitars give way to handclaps and a sweeping choir on the
uplifting and undeniable “Don’t You Worry.” Between a
six-string lead, an empowering hook exudes stadium-size ambition as
Jezreassures, “No, I won’t let go. Through the highs and lows,
don’t you worry, no.” On “Please Don’t Go,” his
cadence slides from intense raps into a singalong chant backed by acoustic
strumming.
