Brisbane-based singer-songwriter Jackson Broom has always had a knack for capturing the nuanced, heartfelt moments of life that often go unwritten. His music, a sophisticated blend of soulful grooves and introspective storytelling, has resonated with listeners since his early days, when he was navigating the ‘growing pains of youth’ through his debut release, 'Awkward Emotions'.
Jackson's sound, which has evolved from his high school beginnings, is rich with sincerity and sonic depth. His influences, including the likes of John Mayer, Rex Orange County, and Tom Misch, are woven into the fabric of his work, creating a soundscape that is both warm and honest. This evolution was particularly evident in his 2024 single, ‘Minute,’ a track that showcased a more soulful and reflective side of his artistry.
Now, Jackson is embarking on a new chapter, beginning with his recent pop anthem, ‘Stuck On U,’ and building momentum with his brand new single, ‘Hey Jane.’ While ‘Stuck On U’, was an infectious track that proved his ability to deliver undeniable hooks, ‘Hey Jane’ sees Jackson returning to his folkier roots, capturing a rustic, heartfelt sound that will have you hooked.
Described as a folky, acoustic indie-pop track with a distinct John Mayer vibe, ‘Hey Jane’ is a reflective and heartfelt piece that leans into a similar space as Mayer’s ‘Stop This Train.’ The song dives into the profound theme of breaking cycles and finding the courage to become one's own person. It's a testament to Jackson's lyrical prowess, as he manages to articulate complex emotions with a beautiful simplicity.
Currently writing and recording daily, with some sessions even taking place at Universal Music's Forbes Street Studios in Sydney, Jackson Broom is diligently honing his craft. With more music on the way and a catalogue that continues to deepen with each release, 'Hey Jane' is just another step in what is sure to be a long and successful journey.
