Jae Cabrera Delivers Late-Night Vulnerability in New Single ‘Half on Empty’

R&B/Pop artist Jae Cabrera dives deep into late-night vulnerability with his new single, “Half on Empty”, a sultry, emotionally charged track now available on all streaming platforms.

Jae Cabrera’s music is a seamless blend of R&B and Pop, exuding soulfulness and energy that leaves listeners hooked and craving more. With unyielding perseverance and an undeniable passion for his craft, Cabrera continues to create music that resonates across audiences.

Set to a slow-burning, ambient groove, Half on Empty is a perfect storm of mood and melody. The track blends confessional lyrics with hypnotic production, exploring the emotional grey area where lust and longing collide, when hearts are full of feeling yet the soul feels drained.

From the opening lines, “Half on empty, and it’s not my night / Two drinks in me, am I out of time”, Cabrera establishes a narrative that is raw, relatable, and utterly compelling. His smooth vocals glide over waves of ambient synths and subtle percussion, conjuring an atmosphere reminiscent of 2AM honesty wrapped in velvet.

Adding to its pedigree, Half on Empty was crafted in collaboration with the Grammy-nominated production team behind Mary J. Blige’s recent Grammy-nominated work, delivering a record that is as polished as it is soulful.

“It’s that moment when you’ve given a lot, maybe too much, but you still want more of that person,” explains Jae. “The song captures the haze between emotional burnout and magnetic attraction.”

Cabrera’s skill as a lyricist and performer shines through in the intoxicating chorus:
“Girl I’m half on empty, and a few drinks in has got me / And we just fell in love, but I still can’t get enough…”

Beyond his musical output, Jae Cabrera is also the creator and host of “Vibin’ w/Jae”, a weekly Instagram livestream where he chats free-flow style with independent artists and creatives, uncovering the stories behind their journeys, showcasing live performances, and offering exclusive pre-release music. He also hosts an electrifying daily two-hour royalty-paying radio show focused entirely on independent artists, taking listeners on a captivating musical journey through a broad range of genres.

Half on Empty marks the beginning of a new chapter in Cabrera’s musical journey, following years of consistent growth both as an artist and as the driving force behind his independent music platforms. The single sets the stage for his upcoming EP, expected in 2026.

Whether listeners are riding solo or contemplating that one person they cannot quite let go of, Half on Empty is destined to become their next late-night obsession.
