There’s a cool confidence about Jack Bratt’s new single “Spades.” He sings with swagger. The track sounds polished, yet doesn’t lose that authentic rock grit. The song oozes cool, even while the lyrics reveal Jack’s own insecurities.
“I’m a classic overthinker, and Spades is a bit of a snapshot of me over-analysing everything,” he confessed. “It’s a lot about comparing where I’m at in my life to my friends and family, thinking about whether or not I’m where I should be compared to, say, when my parents were at the same age.”
After taking out the prestigious Grant McLennan Fellowship in 2019, Jack shouldn’t second-guess himself. With the skill it takes to create songs like this, he’s on the right path.
