JK JEROME
JK Jerome makes intimate, quietly cinematic music — voice and guitar shaped into something between acoustic warmth and electronic haunting.Writing from the specific rather than the universal — single parenthood, the pull of a Salopian childhood, the complicated need to create — his songs accumulate meaning on repeated listening.Previously Mahogany Sessions, Boardmasters Festival, BST Hyde Park and Goldfrapp support.Third single 'I Just Want to Soar' out now.

WHAT THEY SAID
I Just Want to Soar
"'I Just Want to Soar' is a moving success of a track from JK Jerome."
"'I Just Want to Soar' feels less like a stepping stone to a debut EP than a small, confident statement of intent in its own right."
"JK Jerome continues to confirm his status as one of the more intriguing rising voices within modern indie songwriting"
"We already know that Jerome is a master of modern indie-folk; here, he proves that there is so much more to his music, and so much more to come."
"I honestly can't think of anything else that sounds quite like it."
"'I Just Want to Soar' is not a chapter ending, but is fresh ink on paper."
Any Moment Now
"A song that will go on to soundtrack many people's own stories."
"A sound that is becoming distinctively JK Jerome and no one else."
"A life observed closely enough stops being personal and becomes universal."
"A beautiful meditation on inevitability, delivered with patience, grace, and the confidence to let silence speak just as loudly as words."
Profanity
"Most songs gesture towards meaning. This one simply has it."
"Profanity" is a cinematic indie folk debut that pairs raw emotion with experimental flair to striking effect."
"'Profanity' feels like something more personal than career progression. It's the sound of an artist finally arriving at the exact emotional language he was trying to find all along."
"It's rare for a debut single to be as striking for its political maturity as for its sonic delicacy."
"The song does not ask for sympathy. It asks for recognition."
