Folk Pop from Jeremy Aaron

Brooklyn-based artist Jeremy Aaron crafts his own unique style of bedroom pop music, writing, arranging, performing and recording everything himself in his home studio. He took his first steps as a songwriter at fifteen, first writing on guitar before magnetic pull of synths drew him to explore new musical spheres.

Influenced by artists such as Hozier, Fiona Apple and Joni Mitchell, he first unveiled his original sonic vision back in 2017 via his debut full-length record In the Magic Light. Having made his introduction across the ten-track release, Jeremy has also brought his music alive on stage, including a performance at Philly Folk Fest.

Following a hiatus from releasing his own music, this year he’s back with new material, marking his return with the single “The Day the Internet Died” in January. Now he brings us his latest release with his new sophomore single titled “Under My Skin.”

Now informed by David Byrne’s improvisational approach to lyrical writing and leaning into his synth-driven influences, with “Under My Skin,” Jeremy Aaron serves up an elegant folk pop outing that perfectly balances delicate performance with catchy writing and subtle groove. Eschewing his trademark metaphorical lyrical approach, with this new single the artist takes direct aim to present a song about sadness, penned during the pandemic when everyone experienced some level of their own version of anguish.

Capturing the vocals and guitar at his producer Jann Klose’s studio with other instrumentation recorded in his own bedroom, the song also benefits from drums by Ethan Cohen. Starting the song off with his airy vocal leads repeating the line “I feel blue” over soft acoustic guitar tones, a melancholic scene takes hold as Jeremy’s soulful voice gracefully glides over the arrangement.

Adding laid back rhythm with the mellow snap of drums and crafting a warm blend of guitars, smooth bass notes and sorrowful synth lines, “Under My Skin” delivers a memorable jam full of relatable feeling and superb vocal performance. Showcasing another side of his sound as well as the range of his creativity, “Under My Skin” sees Jeremy Aaron bring to life his stellar songwriting in a completely new light.
