JakeBJackson bursts forth with equal parts charm and confidence on his debut single “Divine.” His soulful belting is effortless and at the same time breathtaking as he sings about cherishing his one true love, his girlfriend, whose been with him through the bad times and the good times.
Being his first written and published record, it sounds impressive. “Divine” is a slow jam, quaint with gentle lyrics and a refreshingly charismatic atmosphere. This allows JakeBJackson to dip and soar with his strong voice before slowly climaxing to the song’s peak, as he ultimately and triumphantly explodes on the chorus.
Due to his uncanny ability to channel raw emotion through his voice, his infusion of lush soulful warmth ties the chorus together with spine-tingling effect. It’s gorgeous, and in a way improves on the already-fantastic piano and guitar pieces.
“Divine” has its quiet moments that demand your attention, the lyrics are simple and poignant as the song builds with intensity to a lushness that becomes ever more present throughout the record. The mood is thoughtful and light, with an emotional range and sharp artistic direction when he invites listeners in and sings about his sweetheart with affection and all of love’s subtleties.
JakeBJackson has a unique way of making his vocals ride with crescendoing blasts up and down throughout the song, alternating from subtle talk-sing to chest-bursting cries. For a first time listen the song is a perfect introduction into the music scene, as he’s an artist defined by an incredible natural instrument. Hoping to deliver another virtuosic performance, listeners can expect to hear his next collaboration piece that’s coming out on October 23rd.
