| JUNE 27, 2016 – RUMSON, NJ – Pop singer/producer Jack Newsome is excited to premiere his new single “Bellevue” exclusively on Girls’ Life. The song is a nostalgic track referring to memories from the artist’s childhood home. Starting with a sample of Newsome at age five, the track has a dreamy sound with a steady beat and strong bass synths mixed with a collection of strings. Fans can check out “Bellevue” now, here: http://bit.ly/28Yxdt0. For more information on Jack Newsome, please visit: http://www.jacknewsome.com.
When asked about “Bellevue”, Newsome said: “‘Bellevue’ is the most sentimental song I’ve written, bar none. To be honest, I had never cried while writing a song until this one. I like to play cool and stay guarded when writing, but I had no walls when I wrote this one. I was just about to go off to college (Berklee College of Music) and I started feeling very nostalgic. The song is all about driving by the house I grew up in, and remembering when my parents were still married. To be clear, my family is much better for the divorce. I don’t wish that my parents get back together, but it’s nice to remember being little and naive.
The chorus-style vocals are reminiscent of Imogen Heap, a huge influence of mine. The song sounds good with just a guitar or a piano, but I wanted to liven it up with some electronic production. I wanted to challenge myself as a producer and an artist.
The intro features a sound clip of a motivational speech I gave when I was maybe 5 or 6, which my cousins uncovered. I recorded the vocals in an office just for a demo, but after playing it for a few friends and mentors, they said I needed to release the song ASAP. “ |
