Embracing a wholesome, honest approach to his lyricism and a heightened indie elegance, Manchester-based musician JFT has impressed us with his latest single ‘Maybe’. An introspective yet relatable and expansive offering, the record sees the British troubadour delving into the many crossroads of life, reflecting on whether things would be different if he had made different choices.
Under such meaningful songwriting, lies a wealth of eclectic indie-rock and pop elements, a stunning blend of evocative guitar tones, light keyboard atmospheres and dynamic drums. It’s the perfect match for JFT’s anthemic, emotional vocals, here drenched in a healthy amount of nostalgia. The guitar solo exudes a heightened and fierce Britpop character, perhaps tending a hand to Manchester’s glorious past (Oasis come to mind, among others).
Speaking about the inspiration behind the single, the British talent explains: “It’s about the great what ifs and maybes that come back to haunt us from the past. The song is a meditation on life’s unpredictability: how love, dreams, and decisions ripple out to create entirely different stories.” A highly relatable theme, one that we are confident will connect with many like-minded listeners around the UK and beyond.
