JANTELOVEN

About JANTELOVEN

JANTELOVEN is a Dutch cinematic singer-songwriter whose music blends intimate acoustic guitar work with atmospheric indie folk, baroque-pop textures, and emotionally charged storytelling. Built around distinctive fingerpicked guitar riffs and vulnerable vocals, his sound draws inspiration from artists like Cat Stevens while exploring a more modern, cinematic palette.

The name JANTELOVEN originates from Norwegian culture, hinting at themes of identity, emotion, and inner conflict. Remaining intentionally anonymous, the artist allows the music itself to take center stage - creating a deeply personal listening experience that feels both timeless and hauntingly close.

Combining the warmth of singer-songwriter traditions with lush cinematic production, JANTELOVEN creates songs that quietly unfold beneath the skin. His music lives somewhere between indie folk, cinematic pop, and baroque-pop: intimate yet expansive, fragile yet immersive.

His debut single, “I love it on you”, introduces a sound defined by melancholic beauty, emotionally resonant lyrics, and unforgettable acoustic motifs. Every arrangement begins with guitar not merely as accompaniment, but as the emotional heartbeat of the song.

For listeners searching for cinematic singer-songwriter music with raw emotion, poetic vulnerability, and organic instrumentation, JANTELOVEN offers a sound that feels deeply human and unmistakably atmospheric.
