Since the release of her debut album Shapeshifter in 2016, New York based songwriter Jilian Medford – better known as IAN SWEET , has worked vigorously towards reinvention with each album. From the rocking rush of Crush Crusher (2018) into the emotional depths of Show Me How You Disappear (2021), gradually rising to the surface with the sparkling pop profundity of SUCKER (2023), Medford’s singular voice has only grown stronger.

As IAN SWEET prepares for an exciting new chapter in her decade-strong discography, 2026 promises to be Medford's most realized songwriting era to date. IAN SWEET’s music has been streamed millions of times worldwide and has been praised by the likes of The FADER, KEXP, The New York Times, NPR Music, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, and elsewhere.

“One of the most thrilling and experimental voices in indie rock.” — Rolling Stone

“Jilian Medford might perform under the name IAN SWEET, but the sugary hooks in her dynamic indie pop are often cut with acid.” — The New York Times

“[IAN SWEET] leans into high-adrenaline hooks and poignant self-reflection with confidence and grit.” — Pitchfork
