"The intricate rhythms are intense, almost overlapping and carving this hypnotic pattern that laces the structure and loops on this vibrant movement. Whilst the plethora of standout textures assists with the gravitational pull of this enchanting ensemble, it’s the brooding vocal notes that soar high above the melodic atmosphere and assist with this further emotive influx. The lyrics course such tender traits into the prominent atmosphere, a very powerful composition.
This artist is a triumph, producing such intoxicating and influential volatile arrangements.
Commenting on the track Jack Kenworthy says: “‘For You’ talks of a time that changed my family’s and my life forever, in learning the news of my brother-in-law’s cancer diagnosis. What followed was 11 months of uncertainty, togetherness and a celebration of shared love and friendship between a family. Made with my friends and long-time collaborators Gianluca Buccellati and Mikko Gordon, ‘For You’ is the first chapter of my new record, Love To You, Mate.”
“I’ve always been on the side of making up scenarios rather than being really honest about my life within my music,” adds Jack about his second album Love To You, Mate. “This is the first time I’ve been able to do that. I’ve been less scared of it because it’s not my story. It’s a shared one.”
The Nottingham-based songwriter and producer’s life was upended in February 2021, months before the release of his debut album Wake,when his brother-in-law Greg Baker was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. What followed was the most “unbelievable” year of a family’s togetherness when life seemed set on fracturing the life of a young man. Kenworthy, knowing in particular that he needed to be a pillar of support to his partner Helen, whom he’s since married, found that the family’s journey together in the face of adversity was both brutal and beautiful."
