“…But God, I’m a hot mess!”
Can you be a Christian whilst battling depression?
This is a question JUMEE has been trying to answer for years. Knowing God but not knowing himself, is this
possible? Can you really know God if you battle with anxiety?
“People don’t see it because I’m upbeat a lot of the time, but when I’m by myself, the low points can hit really
hard…”
Described by most as the life and soul of the party, JUMEE describes himself as an extroverted introvert. “People
often see us as this ‘big confident character’ because some of us can do things that most people can’t; such as
making music and performing onstage, but our self-image can be really low.”
“In secondary school, one of my youth leaders would always tell me that ‘you are wonderfully and fearfully
made’ (Psalms 139:14) but I never knew what it meant” JUMEE recounts, “I didn’t have a revelation of what it
meant. Now I know that it means that God took His sweet time in making you. He made everything about me,
including my flaws!” JUMEE recounts, “God kept asking me to sing for Him, but I kept saying… ‘But God, I’m a hot
mess!’”
JUMEE now believes and knows that He has been selected not for his perfections but for his imperfections. “God
isn’t interested in what makes us perfect… HE makes us perfect! He is interested in the selection of imperfections
that makes us, us; and these imperfections steer our life’s purpose.”
JUMEE is now a Christian R&B/Trapsoul Singer and Dancer from the depths of Southeast London with a sound
unique to the Christian community; merging modern atmospheric New Age R&B, Soul, Pop and cultural elements
of Afrobeats, Reggaeton and The Word. You’ve probably seen him around in a film or advert or two, or seen him
before ‘getting his life’ onstage. His new song, ‘Falsetto’ helped him to get through some of the hardships he
experienced in his mind.
Falsetto, the latest song from JUMEE, which is based on Colossians 3:2 states that you should ‘keep your mind on
heavenly things above and not on earthly things’, helped JUMEE to relax and focus his mind. The sound can be
described as ambient trap music with soulful vocals that creates a mood and vibe that takes listeners to another
place.

Lyrics
Verse One
Keep your mind set on higher things
Don’t be blinded by the temporary
Keep your eyes on the finish line
Falsetto, falsetto, falsetto yeah
Observing daily waiting for Thy Kingdom come
As it is in heaven so thy will be done
On earth
Set your sight up above it
We in this world but not of it
Keep your mind on higher things
Falsetto (x5)
Keep your mind on higher things
Falsetto (x5)
(Keep your mind, keep your mind)
Chorus
In Falsetto, ooh, in falsetto, ooh
Keep your mind in
In falsetto
Falsetto, ooh
Verse Two
But I know you want a new bae so bad
And I know you revving up for that bag
Gotta get another post out to that gram
Let me tell ya, no no
Better take it slow
Don’t be letting these things take up all of your time that’s a no no no no
New bag that new fame that new car
Don’t let them take the space in your heart
They won’t fill you inside
And you’ll have to wave bye bye
When you run out of time
Oh no
Falsetto (x5)
Keep your mind on higher things
Falsetto (x5)
(Keep your mind, keep your mind)
Chorus
In Falsetto, ooh, in falsetto, ooh
Keep your mind in
In falsetto
Falsetto, ooh
