Jacques Strange, “Breathe” [📷: Jack Strange]“Breathe” is sure to leave you breathless as Welsh pop artist Jacques Strange blesses us with the gift of a certified summer B-O-P.

World – particularly America – let me introduce you to Welsh pop musician 🎙 Jacques Strange. Strange comes bearing the gift of the bop – a surefire, must-hear pop record! Adding to the ever-expanding LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍🌈 of musicians that are ‘doing the damn thing,’ Strange unleashes 🎵 “Breathe” in all its glory.  Safe to say, Jacques has ‘leveled up’ our summer listening rotation.  Furthermore, check out that cover art – the man is killing it!

Beyond the eye candy that makes us breathless (even though he told us to breathe), “Breathe” shines brightly. The moment the music starts, the body begins moving – pick your choice of head, feet, or full-on dancing! The backdrop (produced by 🎛 Sevenths) is killer with picturesque synths and top-notch drum programming, particularly that synthetic snare. Beyond the instrumental, the star, Jacques, is giving certified excellence.  That excellence includes a cool, catchy, and infectious melody. He sings fantastically, delivering lower/mid-register vocals.  I heart falsetto, but honestly, it’s refreshing to hear some vocals with some ‘bass.’  Besides a fresh melody performed with fresh vocals, what about that personality Jacques serves up? It’s one thing to sing proficiently, but another to sell something with authenticity.  There’s nothing ‘strange’ about Strange – that boy can ‘sang’ and make us buy what he’s selling.


Final Thoughts 💭 

Jacques Strange – you need to familiarize yourself with this guy. “Breathe” is sure to leave you breathless as he blesses us with the gift of B-O-P.  A vibe and a half – maybe two vibes – “Breathe” is sure to put a gargantuan smile on your face.  Prepare to jam out to this one at your location of choice – crib, car, club!
