Jerome Farah, a prominent figure in Australia's music scene, steps into the spotlight with his latest release, the vibrant and charismatic single 'Can't Drive Stick'. The track, which Farah both wrote and produced, is a playful blend of funky percussion, pulsating basslines, and a signature sound that reflects his diverse musical influences.
Farah's creative process is solitary, but his enthusiasm is infectious. "When I write stuff like this, I’m genuinely running around the room so hyped!" he admits. The lyrics for 'Can't Drive Stick' came together spontaneously, with Farah embracing the absurdity of some of the lines. He explains, "There’s some stuff I’m saying in there that I don’t believe at all!" One such anecdote inspired by an ex-girlfriend who could drive stick shift, led to a humorous tale of a dream car and a destroyed transmission.
Despite the lighthearted nature of the song, Farah's reputation as a skilled songwriter and producer with an emotionally intelligent storytelling style remains intact. His work with a range of Australian artists, including Baker Boy, Dallas Woods, and KYE, has garnered accolades and recognition, even before the release of his debut single 'I Can't Breathe' in 2020.
With 'Can't Drive Stick', Jerome Farah once again proves his ability to craft catchy, engaging music with a unique personal touch. The single is a testament to his creativity and his ability to infuse his music with genuine excitement and a touch of cheeky humor.
