Jackson Watson with excellent dreamlike release

Jackson Watson is an Indie-pop artist from Alabama who takes his musical motivations from his own personal experiences, as well as other aspects from nature. Jackson states to be heavily influenced by Michael Jackson, Harry Styles, and Twenty One Pilots, although his ability to fuse the likes of pop, R&B and rock have had him compared to musical legends such as Prince, Queen and Tame Impala.

Following Michael Jackson’s death in 2009, Jackson began studying his works and bound a passionate affinity with music from a very young age. An obsessive phase of practicing MJ’s choreography followed, leading him to a local news feature and a subsequent Best Video Award in 2015.

Jackson started creating his own music in 2019, debuting with his track “Wolf” in the March of 2020. In a conscious attempt to turn his music in a far more positive and happy direction, he followed-up with “Summer Lover”.

The switch proved to be a highly successful change and “Summer Lover” subsequently served as the lead single from his debut EP Heat. Shortly after Heat, Jackson started writing his first full album, Kaleidoscope.

“Eye Candy” is the latest release from Jackson, which tells the story of falling in love with someone on an island. It is an extremely happy song, laden with wonderfully dreamlike melodies that are dripping in Jackson’s velvety vocals, and which does an excellent job of doubling-up as happy song for the summer and a throwback to the golden days of soulful music.
