When a true vocalist effortlessly reminds us of the value and irreplaceable emotion and charm of real human substance and skill, the music just moves you.
Miles Jenson is an acclaimed songwriter, and the soulful orchestral and jazz-kissed arrangement of Against My Best Interests showcases the sublime nature of his talent in a way that holds your attention from start to finish.
Beautifully distinct and expressive, nostalgic and softly powerful in its nuance and seamless transitions from subtle depth to falsetto, Miles Jenson’s performance is as evocative as the songwriting requires it to be. The song grows more and more intense and compelling as it rolls along, and the result is something that feels rooted in the styles of a simpler era, but also elevated by a clear originality that is the structural, melodic and lyrical backbone of the whole thing.
It’s an indie alternative style, inspired by the greats, and with so much soulful fluidity and depth that it’s impossible to ignore. Just what modern music needs right now.
