Jakob The Liar shows us how he rebirthed himself in the new year with his latest single, “Sunchild.” Helmed by the Danish-born and London-based alt-pop singer-songwriter Jakob Kupferberg, Jakob The Liar blends transcendental atmospherics with folksy and triballic acoustics.
Released on January 5, 2024, as part of his upcoming EP, ‘Wake Up Mr. Kupferberg,’ the song showcases Jakob’s artistic evolution. The song opens with enchanting and atmospheric acoustic guitar strumming, creating a relaxing and immersive atmosphere. Jakob’s high and evocative vocals immediately draw the listener in, setting the tone for a contemplative and emotionally charged experience. The folksy and tribally-infused percussion gives the immersive song a unique rhythm, making it all the more organic and earthy.
Throughout the song, Jakob skillfully weaves in elements of world music, orchestral arrangements, and indie pop, creating a progressive musical landscape. The majestic horn section, combined with tribal chanting vocals in the bridge, transforms the track into a spiritually awakened anthem. The instrumentals play a crucial role in enhancing the sense of rebirth and renewal conveyed in the lyrics.
“Sunchild” is the product of a paralyzing illness that our artist recovered from and resiliently started climbing from ashes all over again. As Jakob started over and turned things around, the song gave us a ray of hope, introspection, and a celebration of life’s transformative moments.
“Sunchild” is only the third single from the upcoming EP Wake Up Mr. Kupferberg. It seems like Jakob will give 2024 a bright awakening.
