Jake Bugg performing at the Brixton Academy, London (Alberto Pezzali for Live4ever)
Jake Bugg has shared some of the results of the recording sessions he’s been undertaking in Los Angeles with Andrew Watt having recently signed a new record deal with RCA.
Kiss Like The Sun has been unveiled ahead of the UK shows in Nottingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester and London which are due to start in a few days’ time, when more new material is expected to be on show. Bugg says:
“I love working with Andrew Watt and I’m really pleased with the sound of this track. I wanted to write something that was fun and a bit light-hearted.”
Kiss Like The Sun should be geared towards a fifth studio album for Bugg, following Hearts That Strain of 2017. “The rockabilly tendencies of Bugg’s early work seem to have mellowed into a more classic sound,” Live4ever’s review reads. “Not even alt-country like all the kids are doing these days; this is the proper stuff. There’s hints of Merle Haggard or Conway Twitty and so on. Very slight hints, but hints nonetheless.”
