Jack J Hutchinson Announces New Album for 2024 & Releases First Single & Video
28th July 2023 0 By Jon DeauxResilient, London-based, Fedora-sportinā British Rocker, Jack J Hutchinson (described by Classic Rock Magazine as āa real rock contenderā) releases his first single āConstellationsā from his brand-new 10-track album,Ā āBattlesā and shares its accompanying video.
Ā
Planet Rock praised his āā¦ gritty, honest take on blues rock [which] comes with a flourish of biker steelā, whilstĀ Guitarist MagazineĀ was impressed by how āGrowling vocals combine with raunch ānā roll acoustic and electric guitars.ā
Jackās latest album, ‘Battles’, due for release 9th February 2024 was recorded at Momentum Studios in Plymouth and produced and co-written withĀ Josiah J Manning (Kris Barras Band, Inglorious). āWorking with Josiah was an eye-opener,ā Jack enthuses. āJosiah encouraged me to write meaningful lyrics more upliftingly, and that’s what this new music is. It felt like unlocking who I am as an artist.ā
Ā
āāConstellationsā was the first track written for the album,āĀ Jack explains, āLast year, I was in Los Angeles performing my first shows in America and wrote the verses and chorus in my hotel room and in a soundcheck before one of the shows. It originally had a slightly slower, more bluesy, vibe, but when I sent it to producer Josiah Manning, he transformed it into a three-minute, in-your-face rocker! Itās straight out of the blocks and doesnāt let up until the final note hits.
Ā
āThe song is about being positive and sticking to your guns, even when everyone around you is trying to pull you down. Itās got one of those āpunch the airā choruses and will be a blast to play live!ā
Ā
āConstellationsā hits you right from the get-go with powerful rock guitar and Jackās impassioned vocals (complete with concert-style lighting in the fast-paced 4K video, directed by Kris BarrasĀ at Ignite Productions UK). The three-piece band featuring Phil Wilson on drums andĀ Charlie Rachael Kay on bass, create a tsunami of sound, with driving underlying rhythm, plus Jackās mighty power solo on lead guitar.
Ā
Clever, feeling-filled, anthemic lyrics, of defiance and rebel strength in the face of adversity, fit in with the themes of struggles and resilience found throughout the Ā parent album āBattlesā too: āStand tall, Iāve found my better days, Dig deep, Iāve learned to walk away, Broken, bruised, With no battles left to wage, Donāt try to tear me down, Iāve found a better day.ā
Ā
‘Battles’ āsees Hutchinson at his most exposed, and is charged with the power of catharsis and purging darkness and hurt. But doing so, gives Jack more strength than any record previously. It’s more honest, in its songwriting, lyrics, and guitar playing. It’s about telling a story with the guitar and the voice.
