JMSN’s Year-Old “Soft Spot” Song Is Just Now Blowing Up, Inspires Edits With Migos, Ne-Yo, and More

JMSN released “Soft Spot” over a year ago, but it’s picking up some traction thanks to a series of viral posts.

The Detroit-raised musician shared the title track from his eighth studio album Soft Spot last September, which was accompanied by a striking video of him dancing in a spotlight. Over a year on, he’s still pushing the infectious track and has dropped an alternative version of the video, helping build momentum around the undeniable bop.

After grabbing the ears of new fans and old fans alike, some even took it upon themselves to mash-up “Soft Spot” with other artists including Migos, whose Culture III cut “Modern Day” perfectly matches the smooth instrumental.

Another inspired mash-up circulating on X, formerly Twitter, includes a take on Ne-Yo’s mega-hit “Closer,” which is about as great as you’d expect.

Others pointed out that JMSN’s continued promotion of the song is a testament to how important it can be for an artist to never give up on art they truly believe in. “This song is a year old, and is going viral because the promo never stopped,” someone noted of the track.

Others are just enjoying the meme potential of the music video, whether it be dancing to make it through the rough times or using every forbidden item in your partner’s shower.

Finally, some fans commented that it bares the resemblance to Ghost Town DJ’s “My Boo.”
