UK Folk Singer-Songwriter Jake Whiskin Fights Against Time On New Single “Cold Morning”
“Cold Morning” is the lead single from the debut album of UK singer-songwriter Jake Whiskin. The Leeds-based musician makes a strong first impression with his slow-burning, weighted ballad about the loss, hope, and getting old. A simple cycle of piano chords and Whiskin’s calm, passionate vocals details his difficulty with processing the loss of his father for a powerful and moving piece, in line with artists such as Bright Eyes, Patrick Watson, and Ben Howard. His vulnerability and poetic approach to the subject comes across beautifully as he repeats “I’m fighting against time / it’s always on my mind”.
