JACRE - Only Love Could Be So Blind

On rotation: JACRE "Only Love Could Be So Blind"

British singer/songwriter Julian Ransom, known as Jacre is back with his latest single "Only Love Could Be So Blind."

After taking a break from music, Julian has reignited his passion and returned with a sound that defies categorization. Merging elements of Pop Rock, Folk/Pop, and Indie/Alternative, he creates a uniquely emotive and atmospheric experience.

JACRE's new single was born from a deeply personal experience. Unlike his usual fictional narratives, "Only Love Could Be So Blind" is based on a relationship he had a long time ago. Julian began to realize that almost everything his partner told him was a lie. The song’s lyrics focus on being out in nature and noticing subtle things that are wrong, with a growing realization that the wrongness lies with the person you love.

The reception to Julian's music has been overwhelmingly positive. Critics have praised the emotive power and captivating nature of his songs, describing them as "incredibly emotive and atmospheric," "dreamy, smooth, and flowing," and "a really captivating listening experience." Julian's unique sound has been compared to artists like Gregory Alan Isakov, Novo Amor, Hollow Coves, Hozier, and Villagers.

Reflecting on his past success, a recent review of his previous track, "Don't Ask Me Why," captures the essence of Jacre's music. The reviewer described the song as "like finding an old letter in a forgotten drawer," navigating complex emotions from lingering sadness to hope in a soft yet meaningful folk-pop vibe.

Julian's notable achievements include being featured on BBC Introducing and being approached by a TV producer to perform on Britain's Got Talent before the event was canceled due to Covid. His eclectic experiences include helping a Power Ranger start a music career, having his lyrics published in a poetry anthology, and being featured in a popular YouTube documentary highlighting that it's never too late to pursue a music career.

"Only Love Could Be So Blind" was recorded in Julian’s home studio, with production by Dominic Romano, mixing by Charles-Henry Volk, and mastering by Philip Marsden. The song delves into the realization that a past relationship was built on lies, using nature as a metaphor to explore the subtle signs of deception.

JACRE''s latest single, "Only Love Could Be So Blind," is a testament to his unique sound and emotive storytelling. This release promises to captivate listeners and solidify Julian's place in the music industry.
