Back in April when we introduced Jake Isaac to Breaking More Waves we mentioned ‘the beefier organic stomp and bash of Long Road which has hints of gospel, rock and folk within its melee.’ Now we’re streaming the song properly for two reasons. First because it’s going to be featured on Jake’s forthcoming Warchild EP (due 28th June) and second because the recording now up on line has been remastered for your all-important quality listening experience.
We’ve previously compared Isaac to some sort of George Ezra and Michael Kiwanuka hybrid - so does that make him George Michael then? Well as far as we know Jake’s not been arrested for any public toilet lewd acts or covered Careless Whisper yet, so maybe he isn’t. Also this one has more of an exhilarating hell for leather feel to it than anything George or Michael have done. So as Jake comes out fighting with Long Road we might have to re-evaluate our reference points, but take a listen yourself and at least agree with us that Long Road is a stirring tune ready for a good old holler along to, and that Jake Isaac has some voice.
