Emerging Alternative Artist Jonathan Baxter Releases Mesmerising Debut single

Music Review | 9th Sept, 2024 Jonathan Baxter

Alt-artist Jonathan Baxter has been crafting music to the ever-changing sounds of the unforgiving Belfast rain. A true craftsman, the artist seamlessly blends vibrant expressions with the soul of a genuine singer-songwriter.

Having spent years playing in bands, Jonathan is now transitioning from that chapter to embark on his own solo project. His latest project emerged as part of this evolution in his musical journey, a point where Jonathan felt increasingly confident that his songs were more than good enough to stand on their own.

The debut single from the artist is Swans, a musical journey through art, history, and love, inspired by the timeless sculpture Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss. The song resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Soon after being sent a photograph of it, a cascade of emotions and ideas began to effortlessly emerge, none more evident than the enchanting French-infused lyrics of Je ne sais quoi.

Titled Swans Jonathan invites listeners on a sonic voyage through poignant verses and soaring choruses, where threads of passion, inspiration, and longing weave throughout.

The track features Jonathans vocals over a bed of synth and effects which link to distorted guitars filled chorus. Blending rock 'n' roll with straight-up singer/songwriter styles the tracks crossover qualities are undeniably powerful, resonating with listeners and revealing to each their own unique je ne sais quoi.
