Jakke, a versatile artist and musician, refuses to be confined by one musical genre. Instead, he fearlessly navigates the vast landscape of music, pouring his creativity into each piece. Much of his early success can be attributed to his features on Spotify’s Chill Tracks, Apple Music’s New in Dance, and New in Alternative playlists, garnering much praise and buzz. Jakke’s style is an interesting hybridization of electronic principles fused with live instrumentation. This resulted in the production of mesmerizing tracks such as “Hurricane,” a strong alt-rock anthem with EDM influences in collaboration with Matty Co. Last year, Jakke released a 10-track remix album titled “How Do You Love Remixes.” The record represents a very important milestone in his career, featuring songs fashioned by nine different producers from around the world. From Deep House to Electronica, the remix album forever changed Jakke’s as an artist.
Jakke’s latest release, cleverly titled “Reckoning,” boasts a clever combination of his signature progressive house production and impressive vocal abilities. The rhythm alternates between soothing calm and potent peaks, exploring the emotional depths of the human experience. Jakke’s vocals soar throughout, delivering a powerful performance that elevates the intensity.
“Reckoning” is an impressive piece of work that demonstrates his ability to create songs that move the soul. If you’re a fan of Emmit Fenn, Lane 8, and Chris Martin/Coldplay, this tune will scratch your itch. An anthem for those seeking refuge from all the conflict constantly assaulting our world, offering both acknowledgement and empathy. It’s a positive reminder that even in times of darkness, we can find solace in music.
“The message of this song came to me after feeling distraught by the horrors of war and suffering that I routinely saw online in the news and social media. Whether it was disturbingly tragic images from the Middle East, Eastern Europe, South America, or beyond, I felt overwhelmed with sadness and unsure of just how to respond. I wanted to acknowledge using my voice to what I saw and felt, without adding to all the noise online. It is my hope for this song to be a way to speak out to everyone going through such misfortune to say ‘I see you and I feel for you.’ I hope anyone else who hears this can bring awareness and empathy to those who do not have the luxury of safety and peace.”
Jakke’s journey has been quite a unique experience. Starting his path under a different name and genre, he quickly evolved as he explored a world of endless possibilities. Collaborating with several artists over the last two years has had a profound positive impact on his career. He is now devoting himself to his craft in the studio, with several albums lined up for release in the coming eighteen months. Jakke is an artist who is destined to make it big time, and we can’t wait to hear what he has in store for us for his next set of releases!
