Jake Miller released his album, 'Silver Lining,' on March 9th. His songs are catchy, upbeat, and some songs are heartbreaking in an upbeat way. None of his songs sound the same, they are all unique. Also, his voice sounds really smooth, so it adds to the music.
This album leads towards the pop genre. His storytelling in his songs are great and there is a track that will suit any situation you're in.
“This whole album is a little bit different, about letting go of past experiences, people and bad energy,” Miller explains. “Moving on, trying new relationships, meeting new people -- something positive that comes out of something negative," as Miller states in an interview with Billboard.
Top five song choices:
1. Be Alright
When you hear this song, you'll feel the comfort of his lyrics. If you're having a bad day or if something happened where you can't tell anyone then this song will make you feel better. The production of this song is like a beaming ray of light.
"When you feel like you've lost your way. When you've seen every shade of gray, just know everything will be alright."
2. Distraction
Imagine you're running into an ex you still have feelings for. It can be the worst because you think you're over it then, "BAM!", it hits you like you've been hit in the face with a football. It hurts and it aches your heart. When you have a date on your arm but she's only distracting you from the one you can't be with.
"She's just a distraction. I confess, she'll never take up the space that you left."
3. Drinking About You
You're longing for someone you love to be like you guys used to be. To be happy. It's all we really want in life. But, heartbreaks happen and sometimes people drink their feelings away.
In the end, drinking about someone can make you miss them even more. It's hard to let go of someone and this song represents wanting to be intoxicated to be even more honest to the one you want to talk to.
"I've been drinking about you. I still can't let you go. Can we talk like we used to?"
4. Mulholland Drive
Everyone would want a little more time to be with their partners. It seems there's not enough time in the world. The day should have an extension of 48 hours so people could go to their jobs, socialize with people, do chores or run errands and have time for their loved ones.
Since there are only 24 hours in a day, we should make the most of it. I can picture someone running away with their partner to spend more time. Forget all of the troubles and worries that might affect your life and breathe. Just breathe with your partner but, time might run away from you guys because you're not paying attention to it.
"Cause I, just need a little more time with you. Just stay awhile. I promise I can prove that I can make all your wildest dreams come true."
5. The Girl That's Underneath ft. Jabbar Hakeem
Girls can walk around like they are the baddest girl in the room, but we can also have a wall built because we're cautious of a person's intentions. I admit, I'm a girl who can act like that. I'm always on guard so listening to this song made me feel like he was speaking to my soul.
There will be someone who is curious about you. Not the one who's always cautious about people but the vulnerable side of you, the side you don't usually show anyone.
"She walks on red carpets everywhere she goes. You can find her all designer from head to toe. Out in Calabasas, she thinks she the baddest. But your heart is plastic, that shit ain’t attractive. Can you be a real human for a second, please? This ain’t TV there’s no one watching, it’s just you and me.”
