Manchester's own Jacob George has burst onto the scene with his debut EP, 'Yard Sale', a vibrant collection of seven tracks that refuse to be confined to a single genre. This exciting new release is a melting pot of pop, rock, folk, and even hints of rap and soul, showcasing Jacob's versatility and unique musical identity.
From the infectious pop energy of 'Sorry for Calling' to the raw emotion of 'Swim', the EP takes listeners on a dynamic journey. Jacob's songwriting shines throughout, delivering soaring melodies, intricate arrangements, and lyrics that resonate on both a personal and universal level. There's something for everyone here, whether you're seeking an anthem to sing along to or a ballad to tug at your heartstrings.
Speaking about the new release, Jacob explains, "I wanted 'Yard Sale' to capture the many sides of who I am as an artist. It's a blend of the sounds that shaped me - catchy pop hooks, the raw energy of rock, and the storytelling depth of folk music. Each song feels like a different item in a yard sale, a piece of my journey both personally and creatively."
Recorded at Sloe Flower Studio with producer James Wyatt, 'Yard Sale' is more than just a showcase of Jacob's talent; it's a testament to the power of collaboration. Featuring contributions from talented musicians like Polly Virr, whose cello arrangement graces the EP's finale, 'Sometimes It's Easier', the project has a rich and textured sound. Jacob proudly describes the experience as working with "amazing musicians he now considers lifelong friends."
Early reactions to 'Yard Sale' have been overwhelmingly positive, and it's easy to understand why. Praised for its authenticity and genre-bending approach, the EP has been hailed as "a real beauty" and "a well-crafted love letter," demonstrating Jacob's ability to connect with audiences on an emotional level.
'Yard Sale' is available to stream now on all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal.
