Tommy Newport has dropped an impressive new single in the form of ‘Jackpot’, which features the Juno Award-winning rapper of the same name. The indie artists blends his early-2000s influences, MGMT and The Killers etc., with a self-produced vibe and a true understanding of what makes for a groovy accompaniment. “I've always loved the idea of merging indie/rock and rap ever since hearing Mark Ronson pairing Action Bronson and Dan Auerbach together in 2016. 4th brought the vibes to the studio with a drum pattern that got the guitar in my hands and thinking of progressions, while Jazz was writing his lyrics,” he explains. “It all came together quickly and felt great.” Keep an eye out for more from both artists. -Dan Peeke.
