Setting the tone with a dimensional bassline, rhythmic drums and magnetic guitar riffs that remind us of The Cure, Jacki Jones opens Life’s Regime with a delicate vocal and metaphorical prose with introspective themes, as she sings, “Welcome to a new reality, all that’s left is a taste of insanity…”
The opus expands with a high emotional quotient and a somewhat meditative vibe as Jacki Jones shares a thought-provoking message with a zeitgeist message. The middle eight is a stripped back moment, tapping into a David Bowie-esque energy before a transcendental final reprise.
We are fully captivated by Jacki Jones‘s vocal timbre, and the poetic prowess that she shares with her vision. The finale harmonies are ethereal and we love the instrumental outro, which makes for a perfect loop, inviting us to immerse ourselves in the composition again and again.
We learn that Jacki Jones is a singer-songwriter from Liverpool, and her genre manifests a fusion of indie-folk and post-punk, resulting in a genre expansive vibe that we cannot get enough of! The emerging artist creates with intention, and cites musical influences from a variety of artists including Queen, David Bowie (of course!), Harry Styles, and 5 Seconds of Summer, although it is clear that Jacki Jones is creating a universe of her own.
There is a tangible depth and authenticity to what Jacki Jones delivers, and we appreciate the catharsis that Life’s Regime exudes with it’s philosophical notions and relatable nature. We have added Life’s Regime to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Jacki Jones‘s wider discography, including Love Story Complete, and Not to Question.
