Listen out for Music Republic Magazine’s hot tip for stardom: UK singer and songwriter Jack Dean who unveils his cracking new single “Still On My Mind”, with a fabulous showcase of his ace vocals and classy pop song writing craft.
This young singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer has an impressive track record behind the scenes working with a myriad of artists, producers and music biz VIPs, such as Jamie Scott (One Direction, Justin Bieber, Rag & Bone Man, Tom Grennan, Jess Glynne, James Bay) who heard one of Jack’s songs, “Slow Reply” and signed him to his publishing company, Catherine Songs.
24-year-old Jack has been spending time locked away in the studio, working with a wide range of new and developing artists, such as: Eden Rain, Marti Perramon, Caity Baser, Henry Moodie, Only The Poets, Jake Roche and many others.
After releasing his debut EP, “Skin & Bone”, which received substantial support from BBC Introducing, he also attracted the attention of Electric Feel Entertainment in the US, who he recently signed with for new music.
He has been gaining traction for his vocal skills through cover videos (including a viral performance of Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things”), garnering more than 30 million views across reels and TikTok.
As the Covid-19 lockdown began in March 2020, Jack took the opportunity to focus on writing and producing his own songs from the studio he’d built in his bedroom. Locked away for weeks at a time, he very quickly began to hone his craft and started releasing music and videos that he scripted, directed and shot himself.
Of the track, Jack says: ” ‘Still On My Mind’ came to me like a crutch at the end of a drawn-out and failing relationship. Although it was tough to face, the song summarises exactly the pain I was feeling at the time… Dealing with heartbreak through music has always been my process but with ‘Still On My Mind’ I dove deeper than I ever have before and captured the feeling in a way that allows the listener an unfiltered view into my world.”
Jack fuses dynamic production with heartfelt lyricism drawn from his own personal experiences. “I honestly just want to make music that feels like me… Drawing from real stories is the only way I know how to write. It’s been such a fun process turning thoughts into reality and I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with some really amazing people who trust my vision and allow me to truly be myself in my songs”.
