Real delivers enough high-quality music that you may find yourself wondering how in the world he pulled it off on a debut release.
'Real' - Pros & Cons
- Fans of artists like John Mayer will love this guy.
- Jake Smith brings in so many different musical styles and elements that every song is like opening a new gift on Christmas morning ... you don't know what to expect and your excitement level just keeps increasing.
Cons
- If you believe that Christians can't have stuff like relationship issues or life crisises, then Jake Smith will probably be much too "Real" for you.
'Real' - No Fluff Here
Oh yeah ... he's felt his heart get pulled out piece by piece.
Listening to his debut release gave more details of who Jake Smith is and how he thinks. He's no "Jesus cheerleader." Instead, he is someone who isn't afraid to let listeners know that life isn't always going to be great. In fact, sometimes it's going to be really depressing and dark. But in the darkest moments, if you look hard enough, you will find a spark of light that will keep you going.
Songs like "Breakdown" will speak to you ... I promise. You'll relate to at least one song on Real and you'll find yourself enriched by the experience.
