Jacob Barrett juxtaposes some of his personal issues with a playful and fun sound on his latest single ‘Here I Go Again’
Ahead of the release of his upcoming new EP, rising San Francisco-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Jacob Barrett has released the new single ‘Here I Go Again’, the second taste of the release and another shining example of the charm and appeal of his independently crafted sound.
The track sees the artist exploring the challenges of living with chronic illness and and the struggles and scars that it leaves behind, both emotional and physical. Musically, it feels at odds with these themes, embracing an orchestral style that is feel-good and packed full of life, making for a really interesting and catchy juxtaposition. This melding of moods showcases a sense of ambition and creativity that feels really memorable, and the track’s increasingly unconventional structure and shifting keys only amplify this sense of ambition without ever sacrificing the hooky and accessible nature of the sound.
