Los Angeles indie pop artist Jack Drinker just dropped his new single “California King”, offering an intimate love song that will tug at your heartstrings. The perfect soundtrack for those dark, long and melancholy January days, Drinker’s relatable lyrics will encompass you like a warm hug, reminding you that you’re not alone in whatever you’re going through.
His lyrics are honest and pure, as he admits to sometimes being naive when it comes to love. He shares, “California King has a lightness and an excitement to it, but there’s also an awareness of the inevitable — that things won’t go the way I hope they do. I think it’s a very relatable representation of how we glorify people in our heads and build them up to be something that they never really were.”
Reminiscent of Gracie Abrams, “California King” shimmers with soul-soaked vocals, a steady, invigorating beat and radiant guitar riffs, evoking a feeling of rising above while simultaneously emitting an undeniable sense of yearning and spirit.
We hope to hear a lot more from Jack Drinker this 2025.
