Drawing us in with a nostalgic and ethereal soundscape, Jackson Breit opens Hit Man with a soulful, energy an imaginative mindset as he sings the prose, “If my stars were crossed, and I was lost, somewhere off in the galaxy, floating energy, could I come back to be anything or anyone…”
The opus expands with a series of alternative outcomes for Jackson’s lived reality, including the possibility of becoming an astronaut, a movie star, a soldier, a lawyer and of course, as per the title of the track, a Hit Man!
Jackson’s vocal timbre issublime, and we deeply connect with his poetic prowess and vast imagination. As for the production of the track, it taps into a timeless energy, allowing Jackson’s range to transcend reality, in line with the concept of the song.
The imaginative composition has a profound impact on us by expanding our horizons and inspiring self-realization and change. With a cheeky cosmic edge, Hit Man invites us to envision alternative realities, encouraging us to think beyond conventional boundaries. This exercise in existential imagination fosters creativity and emotional growth, allowing us to explore our hopes and desires in a safe, cathartic space.
The rising star based in Los Angeles confesses, “Hit Man is about the life we are born into and the odds of being who we are through bloodlines, cosmos and sheer luck.” Elaborating on his current sound, Jackson adds, “It is the new soul era of my musical journey, and probably the one I’m most comfortable in. The ethos is to maybe bring soul music back to the pop charts and main stream and this song has that potential.”
Jackson cites D’Angelo, John Mayer, Vulfpeck, Carlos Santana, and Lauryn Hill as sonic influences, which we can feel come through on Hit Man rather abundantly, although there is no doubt that Jackson Breit is manifesting a universe of his very own!
We learn that Hit Man is the first single from Jackson’s debut album titled, The Soul One, which we cannot wait to hear. In the meantime, we have added Hit Man to our New Music Spotlight playlist, our brand new TIMELESS playlist, and our TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to stream the star’s wider discography including 679 & No Diggity, and Jasmine, and anticipate future releases from the talented creator!
