Chris Jehnert scores on synth-based single, "I Love You To Death"
Part of his newest EP titled Chapter One: The Hollow, we’ve quickly fallen head over heels in love with Chris Jehnert’s “I Love You To Death”. Read on for our full featured review of the single, as well as a background on this talented artist.
Synths soaring everywhere and Chris Jehnert’s vocals taking center stage, we suppose you could consider us massive fans of his freshly released single, “I Love You To Death”. For those not familiar with the work of this artist, he’s putting together instantly catchy music that spans a whole lot of different genres, but with a signature touch that is very much breaking the mold from those making similar tunes. Needless to say, you’re going to love this one.
On the background of “I Love You To Death”, the song’s message is actually surrounding a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention as it should; toxic fandom. According to Chris, ““I Love You to Death” is about having an unhealthy obsession with someone and believing it’s love. The song speaks in equating loving someone so much to the point of your demise. In this particular song, I wrote it from the viewpoint of a couple of the fans I’ve met. Some of which have expressed certain things to me verbally, through letters, or through gifts that influenced the lyrics”.
As a growing artist and someone who is obviously making desirable music like Chris Jehnert, the unfortunate consequence is attracting those who take things a bit too far. As much as musicians or celebrities can be idolized, they’re really just people like everyone else. The unfortunate circumstance of it all can be detrimental to the artist, but thankfully, he’s taken a tricky message and managed to manufacture a song that can hopefully stop the act in its tracks. It absolutely helps that the message can be made out clear within the single, especially because Chris’ silky vocals help make it loud and clear.
Speaking directly on the instrumentation and putting the message aside for just a moment, we couldn’t help but be roped in immediately by the swirling sounds and pulsating bass. As serious of a song that it actually is, it surely helps that once you’re done digesting the message, you can vibe out to the track no problem. We obviously loved this song, and we’re going to recommend you listen, but remember that it’s part of an EP, so check that out too!
All in all though, we need to make it clear that Chris Jehnert is 100% an artist you should keep your eyes peeled for. If you haven’t started listening yet, what are you waiting for? Click on all the important links below where you can listen and follow along for more!
