Artist Close- Up: Jodie Abacus Is Sweet Fun!
Jodie Abacus is the epitome of “YAS!” When you hear his songs like “She’s In Love With The Weekend” or “I’ll Be That Friend”, you just feel and want to say, “Yas!’ Abacus creates joyous jams that from the second they begins you are off your chair and on the dance floor. They give you the musical confidence to move your heart and feet.
I love a good, fun artist, especially when he can sing. Abacus’ voice is smooth like honey, and enters the ears as sweetly. His 80’s R&B, electric sound is pure charisma. Yet, his lyrics are more than meets the ear. Like “The Weeknd,” Abacus uses “fist- pumping” beats to cover somber, reflective words. As you happily smile at hearing about this free-spirited girl, when you open yourself further to the song, you also hear of a wild soul that has grown addicted to partying. Abacus admits he wrote the song for a “party-girl” he has fallen for. The fact that his upbeat music is connected with serious, heartfelt themes makes his debut album a promising one.
Abacus has already attracted prominent music writers and producers like, Duke Dumont, Rahki, and Ariel Rechtshaid. If this song is any indication for what we should expect, then this album is going to be one to dance to and think upon. In addition, it will be one to be blasted in the summer. It’s colorful beats and vivid, sugary lyrics make it musically destined for mass play.
