Vocal Points is a collaboration featuring Jackson Whalan’s rhymes and GES’s tracks. The 11-track album is a prismatic but cohesive collection of textural and positive-minded hip-hop. On the ethereal, “Hope,” Whalan grapples with finding peace in the wake of missed opportunities. His militant flow pierces through rugged beats and dreamy ambience on the rousing “Coming Alive.” His penchant for writing undeniable pop hooks is evident on “Moving With You.” Here, the verses rhyme swaggeringly, and the choruses boast a sensual, sung melody.

The album title Vocal Points is inspired by the definition of focal point: the point at which rays or waves meet after reflection or refraction, or the point from which diverging rays or waves appear to proceed.

Jackson Whalan and GES (Greg Somerville) first met in New York City after being introduced by a mutual friend, the legendary musician and playback engineer Laura Escudé. They started making music together and never looked back. Kicking things off with their debut single, “Source Code,” in 2023, they went on to create the Vocal Points album.

Between 2023 and 2024, they worked on the album in studios across Queens, NY; Hoboken, NJ; and Great Barrington, MA.
Vocal Points is a studio album that dives deep into themes of exploration, perseverance, struggle, a stolen bike, miracles, relationships, basketball, things falling into place, and much more. Stepping away from his usual producer role, Jackson focused exclusively on songwriting and vocals, while GES refined the production—delivering a dynamic palette of sounds, beats, and styles that unlocked new creative breakthroughs for Jackson’s vocal performance. The project showcases fresh flows, melodic singing, infectious hooks, and elevated storytelling. Both artists...  more

And I Knew

Pursuit of Happiness

Amidst the lush Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, The Sleeping Cliffs unleash powerful soundscapes with amplifier feedback and pulsing bass drums. The music is a layered mosaic of fuzz drenched guitars, bombastic percussion, and vintage synths, melodically engineered as a turbine of soulful, rhythmic, electro-rock.  Todd Glidewell, the multi-instrumentalist behind the project, describes himself as “genre-fluid”, drawing from rock, indietronica, funk, soul, psychedelia, post-rock, and alternative. Wearing those diverse influences like a technicolor cape, his tracks consistently showcase a distinctive analog/electronic groove that defines The Sleeping Cliffs’ signature sound.

Artist and producer making music that hits different.
