Jake Knox Shares The Truth of LA In Latest Single “Los Angeles”
Los Angeles-based artist Jake Knox, who has spent time producing and performing with artists like Bipolar Sunshine and The Knocks, has shared his second single “Los Angeles”, which will be on his upcoming album due out later this year.
The upbeat track blends EDM, hip-hop, pop, and alternative rock into an ear-catching and lively mix that serves as an explosive reaction to the exhausting lifestyle from the L.A. grind.
“When I got back from a tour in 2017 I hit a dry spell in work, and started to stare at my phone 24/7. This created an unrealistic expectation on myself, and fuelled the flames of ‘not feeling enough'”, Jake shares. “When you live in a city like LA, in an industry that is all about looking ‘great’, it drains you. So I wrote this song to help remind me that I am enough, and it is okay to have a slump. So all in all it is about embracing the in between time and being yourself. Even though we are all are okay, we are still ‘breaking up with dreams and dropping dead into LA'”.
As each chorus hits, the dynamite goes off as Knox preaches about fizzling out in Los Angeles. Influences such as Atmosphere, Watsky, and Hobo Johnson come to mind as “Los Angeles” quickly draws you in with its humble and organic energy.
