Witnessing the growth of young artists as they come into their own is one of the more rewarding aspects of this occupation. There is an acute sense of pride felt as you hear an artist not only continue to knock it out of the park, but expand their melodic repertoire with increased distinction upon each release. One such musical career we have been following intently is that of young LA artist Lincoln Jesser. Having previously featured the singles "Tops" and "We'll Be Fine", we here at Hillydilly are extremely proud to premiere his incredible new track "Certainty". Vocally, this is Lincoln's most adventurous outing to date, though he coasts through the falsetto with ease. Gone, too, are the driving, balls-to-the-wall synths that were a signature staple in his previous works. In their place is a restrained, yet assertive low end whomp that skilfully accentuates the vocal track rather than pulling focus, a creative mechanic that demonstrates a nuanced maturity with his current approach to songwriting. It truly is an accomplished offering of sophisticated electronic pop. Listen to his new single "Certainty" below and discover first-hand why we regard Lincoln Jesser as one of the most exciting new artists of 2014.
