Eora/Sydney singer-songwriter Jessey Napa has released his summery new single “Only Thing I Needed.” With a groove that just won’t quit and uplifting lyrics about following your bliss, it’s bound to make you feel better about the world.
“I was in a bit of rut songwriting-wise when a friend of mine encouraged me to change up the way I was writing,” Jessey explained about the song’s creation. “That night I put down the guitar (my usual instrument of choice) and laid down a bass, drum, and piano groove on my laptop. The instrumental must have opened something inside me because the lyrics poured straight out of me. The song remained quite bass and piano heavy until I decided I wanted to up the energy of the track for the live show. By adding guitars reminiscent of Kings of Leon and Catfish and the Bottlemen, I was able to take the energy of the song to a new level”
“Only Thing I Needed” is such a great follow-up to Jessey’s last single “Dixie.” I’ll be listening to this one for a while, but I also can’t wait to hear what comes next.
