Jeremy M releases new single

Jeremy Muluka, known as Jeremy M, is a rising singer-songwriter hailing from York in the UK. At just 22 years old, Jeremy has already made a name in the world of indie pop, drawing from his own personal experiences to create music that shines with authenticity and emotion.

Since his teenage years, Jeremy has been crafting songs that reflect his inner struggles and growth and the time spent in lockdown during 2020 provided the fertile ground for him to bring his original compositions to life. Jeremy’s journey into music production began in his bedroom, where he developed his skills and started sharing his demos online.

His self-produced releases in 2022 quickly sparked interest, earning him support from BBC Introducing in York & North Yorkshire and features in various independent online publications. Now, with the release of his debut EP Is It Too Late?, Jeremy continues to go from strength to strength, tackling themes that are powerfully relatable, particularly for young adults navigating the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

Lifted from the EP is the single “It’s Not Your Fault,” a song which offers a raw and vulnerable exploration of mental health, depression and the isolating feeling of becoming a distant friend. Written back in 2021, the track’s origins are intertwined with Jeremy’s creative process, having been built upon an instrumental originally crafted for a cover of Dodie’s “No Big Deal (I Love You).”

Over time, it evolved into a wholly original piece that strikes a chord with listeners, touching on the weight of feeling like a burden when struggling with mental health issues. Brought in by Jeremy’s delicate vocals and the stutter of staccato instrumental tones, the punch of kick drum adds a steady rhythm as his voice gently rises with an emotive and soulful delivery.

Building with the snap of snare, the song takes on a gentle groove as playful synth flickers add colour to the arrangement and soft guitar strums lift the chorus while Jeremy’s elegant voice threads instantly catchy leads above. It’s a delightful alternative pop jam that’s memorable, meaningful and enjoyable from start to finish, demonstrating the charming musical output of this talented artist.
