On "String Around My Finger," Jack Horton serves up a song that's both timeless and refreshingly modern. Horton's energy meets storytelling that transcends borders in the danceable, feel-good single, which puts Horton's accessibility and liveliness front and center.
Produced by Nate Kohrs, this makes a delicate balance of sleek pop production and grit. It's a sweet spot that enhances Horton's natural talent for trussing relatable, lived-in stories into irrepressible melodies. "String Around My Finger" is more than a country-pop jam and a songwriter's ironic turn of events. Horton once thought he might have to go to Nashville to capture the spirit, only to find that home was where he could see it. That emotional honesty runs throughout the song, transforming the personal revelation into a universal anthem.
The single has already demonstrated staying power, charting #8 on the Instagram Top 50 in Canada and #32 in the U.S. and reaching #9 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart in the U.S. It also rocketed up to #11 on YouTube's Canada Daily Shorts, hard evidence that Horton's sound is breaking through the noise.
"This song was incredibly fun to write, produce, and sing," Horton says. "The energy makes you want to dance on the table. It brings back memories of Friday night football games and small-town parties." It can't be denied, an energy that secures the track as a dreamy soundtrack and a crisp addition to today's singer-songwriter field. Bilingual and genre-agnostic, Jack Horton is the kind of artist who instinctively resists boundaries. With "String Around My Finger," he's smashing and connecting across North American earbuds.
