Jxckson & Eddie the Kidd, “Favorite Obsession” [📷: Jxckson Music]Jxckson and Eddie the Kidd join forces for “Favorite Obsession,” which is sure to become your favorite music obsession. 

Are you in need of a musical obsession? Well, well, look no further than Austin-based pop artist 🎙 Jxckson, who has a serious knack for bops! Like, #SLAY, ya know? Anyways, the latest bop from Jxckson, 🎵 “Favorite Obsession”, finds him enlisting a fellow Texan, 🎙 Eddie the Kidd, for the assist.  The union is a marvelous, ear-catching one, made even better thanks to the slick production of UK producer, 🎛 Sevenths.  Safe to say, these boys right here – they tear it up on “Favorite Obsession”!

Jxckson & Eddie the Kidd, “Favorite Obsession” [📷: Jxckson Music]“Favorite Obsession” marks the conclusion of Jxckson’s electropop endeavors with Sevenths.  If it has to end, at least it’s one hell of a conclusion! Woo! I love the wall of sound at the onset of the enigmatic intro (“Maybe it’s not marrying / Maybe it’s love / Well, whatever it is, pray that it never hits you / I’ve got a feeling love don’t have to be the way you say it is”), which prefaces a fun if dark listening experience.  Sevenths does his thing with a hard-hitting, danceable beat and those picturesque synths.  The palette is perfect for Jxckson and Eddie the Kidd to paint their magnificent voices upon. Jxckson performs in a delightful, playful style, while Eddie The Kidd puts in work as well, making our ears totally perk up. The centerpiece is the chorus, which is tuneful and further amplified by the synth-heavy production.

“Tell me what is it you want

What are you here for

Cause if love is pain

Does that make me your disaster

Every thought of you

Forces me into submission

Out of everyone

You’re my favorite obsession.”

The bridge is pretty sweet too!


Final Thoughts 💭 

sweetJxckson, Jxckson! You just keep on pleasing our ears, don’t you? Also, Eddie the Kidd, you’re pretty rad too! And last but not least, Sevenths – what a beast behind those boards, you talented UK producer you! The adulation isn’t unfounded because I have no doubt that 🎵 “Favorite Obsession” stands a great chance of being your favorite musical obsession!
