Jake Banfield shares an emotionally uplifting single, "Sleeping Alone"
Perfectly bridging that line between Pop and Country, emerging artist Jake Banfield has given us all the feels with his latest single, “Sleeping Alone”. Please read on for our full review of the track, in addition to a background on the artist.
Immersing himself within the music scene and reaping the benefits thus far, it’s no surprise that Jake Banfield continues to make waves. Sharing his journey through TikTok and amassing a huge following in the process, he continues to deliver the goods on each subsequent release. On his newest song “Sleeping Alone”, that fact stays true and we sincerely can’t wait for everyone out there to give it a spin.
While it felt like there were infinite highlights to point out during our listen, Jake's versatility and ability to seamlessly blend genres was towards the top. In the world of country music where there’s already a lot of line blurring happening, he’s creating this alternative niche sound that’s sure to please both sides of the table. At the end of the day though, we have a feeling that old and new listeners will be coming back for his silky smooth vocals. Turned way up in the mix on “Sleeping Alone”, it was the ideal stylistic choice to put them at the forefront to really convey all that emotion.
Lyrically speaking, it makes it a whole lot easier to attempt to connect the dots in his messaging when we get to experience it in such a profound way. The instrumentation in the background almost takes a backseat to everything happening up front. Not to say that was a bad decision, however anything gimmicky on the production end would’ve ultimately been too abrasive on the senses. All involved in this song made the right choices at every turn and the end product turned out to be an absolutely memorable single.
As this was just released at the top of 2022, we’re over here now waiting for more to hit the airwaves as soon as possible. While we wait, in the meantime we obviously suggest everyone out there give this a close and focused listen. We’ve done the hard part and included all the important links below in order to listen, follow along, and stay tuned for everything else on the way. Enjoy!
