Creating a presence in his new base in the UK capital, Jack Howard’s unique soul and raw energy have garnered him a reputation as a serious one to watch. Pair this buzz with sell-out performances at Prince Albert and Colours Hoxton and upcoming festival features at The Great Escape and Wild Paths, as well as acclaim from BBC Radio 1 Future Pop and you start to see what all the fuss is about. With his anticipated debut EP ‘All Things That Came Before’ beginning to reach the crest of the horizon, 2024 promises to be a pivotal year for Jack Howard.
Fresh from his first track of the new year ‘Circles’, Jack Howard has now unveiled ‘Another Day’, a bubbling amalgamation of plucky guitars, sleek piano syncopations and a comforting vocal haze. Pulling apart rhythms from complex drums and arpeggiated melodies gives the track an immense sense of feel. Rising through scores of gorgeous soundscapes, keeping everything intact, from the every minute element to the big momentous feel, whether it’s the floating windchimes or the roaring distorted grooves, the purposeful musical breaks or the choir of heavenly voices, it’s all thought through, and the results are stunning.
Speaking on the track’s deeper meaning, Jack shares, “Another Day is about hope. This song is about someone I love overcoming addiction. When I was younger sometimes all I needed was hope that the sun would come up and a new day would begin. Even now I still wake up extra early so I can sit in the silence of day break. When I wrote this song I needed to be hopeful that it was all going to be okay. I hope this song gives you a little bit of me!”
