‘About Last Night‘ by Jake Bugg – Single Rating: 4/5 ★★★★
Jake Bugg, Nottingham’s most exquisite indie-rocker, is gratifying ears left, right, and centre with his new single, ‘About Last Night.’
The singer and guitarist, who sometimes pops out of nowhere, is back in great form. He delivers a thought-provoking message about falling in love, most likely on a night out, with his catchy characteristic song. Is it true love or lustful passion that he’s feeling? You’ll figure it out for yourself.
Distinct
Jake has a distinct voice that stands out. He has an unequalled style in the indie game, and he’s had it for a long time. Also, the singer has a deft way with words, and he digs deep into his lyrical toolbox on this one, soaring to the top with vigour!
The music on ‘About Last Night’ isn’t dissimilar to his previous releases or the sound he made when he first arrived on the scene. Bugg does, however, offer some new features that keep him contemporary and relevant in today’s world. Furthermore, the song begins with a distant synth melody before immediately transitioning to the beat and Jake reaching for the microphone.
The energy develops gradually, but once it reaches the refrain, all guns ablaze with a wide range of flavours. The drummers’ piercing pace blends effortlessly with Jake’s infectious vocal delivery, giving the soundscape a new lease on life. His chorus melody is potentially his most captivating to date, and he provides us with a preview of what to expect from his subsequent releases.
