Capturing the rare moments of hope, “Troubled Soul” touches on depression with a positive outlook, connecting audiences on a human level. Minimalistic lyricism in combination with captivating melodies, the song echoes in your head for long. Absorbed inspirations and creative sparks from those before, the nostalgic, mesmerizing soundscape pays tribute to the great musicians and songs.
“Troubled Soul” has a heartwarming aura in a collection of meaningful, moving moments during the journey of growth. A liberating, soulful guitar solo is one of the highlights of the song. “Troubled Soul” also features the artist’s 84-year-old granpa on the trumpet.
“ I had Roy Harper’s album Stormcock on repeat a few years ago and I found myself playing around the same vocal melodies which is where the song took inspiration. Originally it was much darker but I made an early demo and all the light just poured from the track,” the artist commented.
Jim Jam has a wide-span music career in the shadow of established artists, of which he honed his craft and developed his sound through years of experience and experiments with sound. Staying informed and inspired, the artists have a solid, yet more personal, creative approach when it comes to his own project.
