Hey everyone!
Jack Garratt is back and team HITS is thrilled!
We have been fans of his sound since we first heard "Water", back in 2016.
Soon after we got to interview him and had a blast. His live shows are mindblowing and his tweets are hilarious.
As the cool kids say - what's not to stan?
(Note: we are not the cool kids and have no idea what that means, but let's roll with it.)
Please join us as we dive into Jack's new music.

"Time" by Jack Garratt
Much like we were, the world was introduced to Jack back in 2016.
He won the industry over with "Worry", "Breathe Life" and "Surprise Yourself", showcasing a huge ability for multi-tasking on stage with his mindblowing setup.
Winning awards and selling out shows globally soon became the norm for Jack, yet it came with a lot of confusion and times of feeling alone and scared. Those emotions and experiences have led the musician to writing and recording his new record.
He just announced the release date for his second album, "Love, Death & Dancing", which will be released on May 29th and is available for pre-order.
Jack says about the upcoming album: "The album was written from the point of view of someone who has a functioning sadness, who has had his day-to-day depressions and anxieties that have influenced the decisions he's made. The album is about that functionality, that day-to-day battle, conversation, tug of war."
The first installment of songs, "Vol. 1", is out now and features the first single, "Time", along with two other tracks which Jack will be playing at his upcoming live shows, you can get tickets here.
"Time" is gentle, yet lively.
It's a celebration of making it through hard times, of hope and of reflection.
His warm and soulful vocals immediately fill your ears, guiding you through the colourful instrumentals with such ease.
Jack plays with sounds much like a painter would with drops of colour.
The outcome? Delicate, yet confident art.
Each element has its place as they all collide into a journey of discovery. As a listener there's nothing more exciting than to sit down and listen to find as many layers as you can.
It's no surprise that Jack would come back with something so powerful and expressive.
