Setting the tone with an immersive nature sounds, Jeremee Bautista opens Haunt Me Too with an elegant guitar performance, atmospheric vocals, and metaphorical yet situational lyricism.
We are immediately mesmerized by the tone and evocative prose, laced with poetic prowess and depth, as Jeremee Bautista bares his soul on the opus. The harmonies are luscious, fused with an astral frequency as Jeremee sings the moving hook, “Now you can haunt me too…”
Speaking on his artistry, Jeremee confesses, “The music I tend to write about commonly comes from conversations I wish I could have with people but was always too afraid to.” He adds, “Haunt Me Too carries this premise, being about feeling haunted by the presence of someone you wish you were still with. The song holds a melancholic mood whilst having romantic undertones that make you feel like you are slow dancing with a faded memory.”
We learn that Jeremee Bautista takes inspiration from artists including Phoebe Bridgers, Harrison Whitford, and Bon Iver, which we can feel come through in the evocative new single, although it is clear that he is creating a universe of his own.
Elaborating on his wider body of work, Jeremee tells us, “This song is a part of an upcoming EP I plan to release later this year. The common themes I’m noticing in a lot of those tracks is that of regret. Specifically showing someone that you truly cared about them but was always too afraid to, and then they leave your life with them not knowing how much you truly appreciated them.”
The artist’s depth and authenticity is tangible, and we have added Haunt Me Too to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Jeremee Bautista‘s debut single Phone Call, and anticipate future releases from the rising star.
