This track is a quiet moment of truth — a place where love, memory, and the soft weight of the world meet. Inspired by the spirit of the Beat Generation, it drifts through tender promises, late-night reflections, and the small human details we often forget to hold onto.
Soulful chords, warm textures, and airy vocals melt together like light at the edge of morning, creating a sound that feels intimate, fragile, and deeply alive.

🎧 Mood: warm, emotional, reflective
💛 Style: neo-soul / soulful R&B with poetic storytelling
🌙 Themes: love, memory, longing, the beauty hidden in everyday life
🌆 Atmosphere: late-night streets, soft promises, quiet honesty

Nigerian-born, UK-based singer/songwriter Jacob Banks moved to Birmingham at the age of 13, and began singing, playing guitar and writing songs at the age of 20. He got his start recording songs for friends to listen to in their cars and hitting the open mic circuit before self-releasing his first EP The Monologue in 2013.

Jacob has since released independent EP The Paradox and made his debut on Interscope Records with The Boy Who Cried Freedom EP.  His track “Worthy” has surpassed 5 million streams on Spotify, and his music has been praised by everyone from The New York Times to Vogue, with Time recognizing “Chainsmoking” as one of the “Best Songs of 2017 So Far” and The FADER naming “Mercy” one of their “Songs You Need in Your Life This Week.”

Having supported the likes of Alicia Keys, Sam Smith and Emeli Sandé on tour in the UK, Jacob is now playing to festival crowds around the world including including Lollapalooza, Firefly, Outsidelands and Austin City Limits in the US. The New York Times named Jacob one of “12 Notable Acts” at SXSW.  This fall, Jacob will embark on his headlining North American Into the Wild tour. The tour will kick off with a show at LA’s The Roxy on November 2nd, which sold out 3 months in advance, and will run through December 5th in Atlanta. Jacob is also gearing up to release new music imminently.
