JAKE ISAAC

Having recently toured with Joan As A Police Woman and Ella Eyre, Jake Isaac has been enjoying a busy 2014 thus far. With a handful of tracks available online and fans amongst the likes of BBC Introducing and Sofar Sounds, the attention that he has been attracting of late is long overdue. The song we’re tipping today is the newest offering from Jake – the light-hearted and effortless ‘Waiting Here’.

A real less-is-more gem, ‘Waiting Here’ offers melody in abundance through cyclic acoustic guitar tinkering and infectiously repetitive backing vocals. What’s more, the pulsating percussion and hand-claps that punctuate the track lay down a feel-good foundation, all of which blends with Jake’s soulful vocal to round off a wonderful song.
