Ever since his first album released in October 2012 (at only 18 years old!), Jake Edwin Charles Kennedy a.k.a. Jake Bugg has been impeccably using his distinctive style: a mix of rock and 60s folk (in short, from Merseybeat to young Dylan), punk rock bubble-gum (notes of Buzzcocks), Britpop banter (his voice sometimes edging towards Liam Gallagher’s from Oasis) and contemporary eclecticism (do the Arctic Monkeys spring to mind?). The young prodigy from Nottingham provides amazing compositions one after another, ready to be hummed in the shower. With Hearts That Strain, Bugg confirms that he still knows how to surround himself with great talents. After Rick Rubin, the producer of his 2013 album Shangri La, he hired for this fourth album the very busy Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys, as well as the Memphis Boys, the famous band from the American Sound Studio, old outstanding musicians such as Gene Chrisman and Booby Woods who worked with Elvis Presley on some sessions for Suspicious Mind and took part in Dusty Springfield’s Dusty In Memphis. Indeed it’s in Nashville that the British musician recorded his album, a way to give it a different local flavour from his previous works. And it is clear that here Jake Bugg shows a completely innovative aspect of his art. Much more soul than previously. Less aggressive too, he displays the new depth of his writing skills. On Waiting, he even sings with Noah Cyrus (Miley’s little sister) for a delightful retro duo. All in all Hearts That Strain impresses with its maturity - the maturity of a musician who is only 23 years old and is just getting started… © MD/Qobuz
