Producer Je’kob Releases Concept Album “The Hearts Bleed – The Scarlet Hills (Part 1)”
Seattle (July 18, 2020) – Artist/Producer Je’kob releases a new concept album exploring themes of love and breakups. “Now that I’ve seen so many nasty breakups & divorces between friends & family up close over the last 10 years, it’s prompted me to just release these story songs & let them play out. In relationships, sometimes things get broken in such a way that the two involved are convinced that there’s just no hope for resolve. Love is not so much a feeling as it is a commitment. It is foolish to believe that love is defined by emotion vs. devotion. Unfortunately, too many people don’t realize this until far too late. These are just some of those stories. In 2011 my brother-in-law & I had an idea: write a full album of songs centered around some of these stories. I am not sure exactly why I slept on these songs for so long.”
Je’kob releases these songs under a new artist moniker, given that the material is different in themes from his solo-branded material. Under the artist name “The Hearts Bleed”, he explores universal themes of love and life. As a husband and father himself, and a certified yoga instructor, Je’kob provides thoughtful insight into human emotion paired with top-flight pop production influenced by R&B and hip hop.
