Kid Hastings, AKA Jake McEvoy gives us a dreamy, sunny bedroom pop track titled ‘Call Me Up’. Never heard of such a thing and want to find out more? Look no further because the era of new music and genre bending is here. The singer hails from Hastings, England, but was raised in New Jersey. The jazz and choir kid turned into the bleached-hair indie rock/pop guitarist and songwriter you see today. He draws influences from jazz greats, Thelonus Monk and Wes Montgomery.

His complex melodies, layered vocals, and unique self-produced soundscape create a luscious wonderland for your ears. The accompanying music video directed with the help of his friend, Ava Doorey, showcases his sophisticated flair for a diverse catalog of songs. His use of self expression and unparalleled eccentric performance explain broaching solipsism, unrequited love and taking yourself less seriously. Kid Hastings sings in the shadows under a soft light, as the video goes through dreamy shots of him dancing and singing with another. It embodies his complex persona as a self-proclaimed, theater kid.

This song is a message for all those that want to blissfully free themselves. Join Jake on this journey through the pandemic and freedom through freedom. Check him out on Instagram and Tik Tok.
