This new EP from LA’s Jaxon is about as smooth yet natural sounding as it gets.

All centred around some super tight pop songwriting, there’s elements of everyone from Drake to Raury and if I even dare say it, Ed Sheeran, in the slightly sugary but downright addictive hooks. The influences are worn proudly on his sleeve, managing to seamlessly blur classic rock and R&B, whilst sounding completely believable and unique. Check out a couple of personal highlights below.
