Jake Herring has stepped into a new chapter with his single “Pepe Le Pew”, a short song with a quiet heart and a lot of care behind it. The song does not need much to make its point. A gentle acoustic sound sits under his voice, giving the song a close and honest touch. His melodies are easy to follow, but they still stay with you after the song ends. There is something sweet, sad, and a little dark in the way he sings, and that makes the release stand out. As a first song under Jake Herring, it is a strong and personal start, built on simple writing, clean emotion and a voice that deserves attention.
