I’ve been debating which Jake McMullen song to share with you, but clicking through his social media I was absolutely shocked to see a cover of Robyn appear from earlier this week. Thank you, music gods, for making this decision so easy.
This California-born, Tennessee-aged songwriter caught my attention a few months back with his track “I Don’t Wanna Wake Up,” which was featured on his debut EP, Always. The song is just as sleepy, cool, and romantic as you’d expect. Unless one of my talented peers beats me to it, I hope to give the track its own entry soon.
McMullen is 22 years young and he is going to rattle the music industry with his perfectly strained songs and poetic contributions. He is far from my normal shuffle selections, and so I encourage you to branch out of your own comfort zone. I would be surprised if you aren’t impressed by what you hear.
Also, I’m a big believer that the world also needs more solid Robyn covers. Enjoy, friends.
