A man on a mission, London-based musician and songwriter Jakob The Liar continues the relentless advance towards his upcoming album ‘The Great Awakening’. He does so with a certain eclecticism, placing heightened importance on meaningful lyricism and relatable, personal imagery. We last wrote about the project back in March, celebrating ‘A Song Like You’ as “filled with euphoria and commitment to the future”. While that was a deeply romantic effort, Jakob’s latest effort explores more uplifting and striking territories: ‘Paradigm $H!T’ is out today, a slice of alt-rock and indie fierceness boasting a deeply rebellious flair.
Written as an angry and frustrated response to the gloomy and troubled reality we are all facing at the moment, especially in terms of political landscape – ‘Paradigm $H!T’ seeks to empower any keen listener into resisting and fighting for what’s just and fair. A defiant, bold anthem, the song sees Jakob The Liar making ample use of fuzzy distortions and euphoric drums, the perfect match for his earthy, resonant voice, fully commanding the listeners’ attention.
Speaking about the idea behind the song, the globetrotter creative explains: “What’s happening in the world right now feels unprecedented, and I see a lot of things folks have fought long and hard to achieve being ripped apart. When the powers that be destroy the very fabric that protects us, it’s time for the people to rise up and rebel. This song is not only a recognition of where we’ve ended up, but also a roadmap out.”
