“It’s not my job to be, giving almost half of me, when it’s just the attention that you crave“, are the opening lyrics of not my job the latest release from Massachussetts-based indie-rock artist, Headrush. Cementing their foothold in emotional awareness, the songwriter, instrumentalist and producer, also known as Jack Warren, knows what he deserves.
The track builds with emotion and refined pop production with a great mix and production clarity and dimensionality. The intro hook repeats as a chorus before the artist slays a guitar solo.
Headrush reminds listeners that it’s not their job to put up with one-sided relationships. Speaking on the song, Headrush says, “Don’t you hate being caught up in a relationship where you are giving so much to another person, only for none of it to be reciprocated? Not only is this kind of thing soul-crushing, but it also happens a lot more than we would like to admit.“
“After I realized I was in a situation like this, I gathered myself and got out of it. That’s when I wrote this song. It’s not anyone’s job to dedicate themselves to another person just to get nothing in return.”
Headrush is the solo project of songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer Jack Warren. Headrush started in his basement on the South Shore of Massachusetts in 2019. Since then, Jack has been honing in on his production and songwriting skills, with each of his releases being stronger than the last.
Jack’s diverse taste in music converges into his unique indie rock sound, taking inspiration from many emo, punk, and alternative bands of the 1990s and early 2000s.
