Well this was a depressing read:

Aging gay fears aging. Too relatable.

I do wanna hear more about just what happened with the Sisters…

 

[MisterNovem]

That was kinda dark LOL.

Is there something wrong with me if I'm reading it and not feeling what you guys are feeling?I'm like, ok cool.

His feelings and fears are not only his. Lots of people fear aging and being alone. Reading his biography he seems rather resilient so perhaps this is just precursor to something better for him.

I also do not like large groups of gay men. Bravo Jake.

 

[Tracy Jacks]

I always appreciate Jake’s candor—his self-expression muscle is so strong and resilient, so I hope he continues to channel these fears and anxieties into his work.

I know the first solo LP wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but the writing was so strong. The melancholy, meditative moments were the album’s best, and I think he’s still got so much more left in his tank than Sisters’ rehashes—as much as I adore them.

He's been confirmed for Brighton Pride alongside Paloma Faith, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Bjorn Again on Sunday 7th August 2022.

New music incoming!



He’s also doing the piano room sessions next month.

There's a rumour that Kylie is on his new album, released next month I believe?

 

[LP-T]

This sounds very promising.

He’s aging like a fine wine. I never gave his solo stuff much attention but I’ll reintroduce myself to it ASAP.

It sounds wonderfully 70s and retro!
