I would like to take this time to feature not a band, but an alternative solo artist who is stepping his way through the current musical scene. He comes from the cold lands of Canada, and with only his utterly beautiful voice and a weeping piano, this musician has reached the hearts of even the most harder people -including Taylor Swift.
I’m talking about Tobias Jesso Jr, a name probably known now by many of you, even if only because of the first single of his new album: 'How Could You Babe'. Starting his career as a bassist for a band called The Sessions, he wrote and composed his own songs on the piano. His demos spread in late 2013, and he quickly began recording his first LP, Goon, with collaborations such as Danielle Haim or Patrick Carney, a member of The Black Keys and producer of the album.
His music is tender and soft, with a jazz vibe. I’ve listened to his album, which was released a few weeks ago (if I’m not mistaken… at least it’s on Spotify), and what I can’t doubt is that he is really, really talented. His music, which could serve too as ambient tunes or as the soundtrack of a romantic movie, is brilliantly composed and well-thought, and his music lets us see it with delicacy.
Among his fans there are the Haim sisters, Adele and Taylor Swift. With his brand new album, which was released this March, Tobias Jesso Jr is sure to develop a great fanbase in the indie music scene. He’s on his way, and has no reason to stop.
