Jake Whittaker shows a different side to his music with his new single, ‘Later’.
Written with best mate and producer, Jared Adlam, ‘Later’ was inspired by how the two friends met their respective partners.
“The first verse is about how I met my fiancée, as we sat out under the stars and chatted on the concrete water tank at the back of the property,” Jake said.
“‘Later’ was the first word we came up with for the song, then pulled the inspiration from that. We wanted a song with some depth to show that there’s more to me than just the mullet, moustache, and party song.”
Following on from singles, ‘Round Here’ and ‘Drink To That’, ‘Later’ shows a more lyrical and storytelling side to Jake’s music.
The radio-friendly single has also aided in Jake getting ‘brownie points’ with his fiancée, Nicole. “She loves it,” he said.
As with the previous singles, Jake wants to keep bringing music to his listeners that they can enjoy, while building his audience.
“The reaction to ‘Round Here’ and ‘Drink To That’ has been pretty spectacular; the country community has welcomed me with open arms,” he said.
“The country scene is full of great people from the fans to the industry people.”
