Upbeat indie pop-rock and funk blending catchy and calming vocals across a romanticised landscape of timeless songwriting. Jacob Chacko maintains his ability and hopefulness as an uplifting modern artist, and this time channels the cinematic charm of niche storytelling, with the engaging earworm ‘Shining Star’. Releasing July 10th, ‘Shining Star’ has the makings of a classic Jacob Chacko song in its optimism and good vibes, but there’s now a certain fluidity and simple, catchy progression to the songwriting and the groove, and more notably, a focused and unique twist within the storytelling. A brief encounter that shifts the landscape of tomorrow – romantic entanglement captured by the essence of great music and a story that’s impossible to ignore. The song is about two spies who cross paths unexpectedly, only to find that sparks are clearly flying between them. It’s an age-old tale of attraction, the electricity felt between two souls amidst a random encounter, and the protagonists being spies adds a whole new level of meaning and character to these references to the middle of the night and the brightness witnessed in the dark. Building up beautifully, a strong guitar funk and pop-rock aura guides a humble doubled vocal that’s catchy and likable, while spoken radio-style fragments of female voice inject further dynamic and detail, to a cinematic journey that’s increasingly memorable.
