Coming out of Oslo is the musical prodigy Jacøb, a 20-year-old artist and producer who ventured on a creative adventure just over four years ago. Driven by a fervent passion for crafting emotive and genre-blurring songs, Jacøb takes inspiration from a range of artists, including Zac Greer, Jeremy Zucker, Chelsea Cutler, David Alexander, Illenium and Nurko.
His sonic universe melts elements of synth-focused future bass, catchy pop writing and the punchy beats of trap, taking listeners a journey through euphoric musical scenes. Despite his young age, Jacøb has already presented a growing discography of impressive releases.
First unveiling his sound to the world in 2021, he dropped his debut single “heartache” which he’s since followed up with a string of well-received singles while linking up with artists such as frequent collaborator Siqu, Bradley Barker and Nūves. Now he brings us his latest release with his first track of 2024, the brand new single titled “Secrets,” released via the Global Rockstar imprint.
Commenting on the context of the single, he shares, “Secrets is about catching up with a girl, but wanting to keep it a secret.” Delivered via his entirely original, yet thoroughly accessible style, “Secrets” takes a playful glance at the clandestine nature of romantic rendezvous and the desire to keep them concealed.
Opened by soft instrumental plucks, a subtly upbeat scene takes hold as the thumping trap beat snaps and clacks as Jacøb’s soulful vocal leads thread bright melodic leads and confessional lyricism. Layered up, his voice paints a vibrant canvas of slick electronic pop music that’s danceable and instantly infectious.
Propelled by the crisp strike of the beats, Jacøb spins storytelling lyrics about his covert trysts wrapped up in an addictively catchy sound. Delivering a chart-worthy pop cut to rival anything else out there, “Secrets” sees Jacøb stride into 2024 with a delightful jam with bags of commercial appeal.
