Jake Bugg growing up on next album. But only slightly
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 26 June 2013
Having shunned the creative advances of all the lazy songwriters of Nashville, Jake Bugg is working on a “more mature” sound for his second album, he has told the NME.
Of course, that an album is “going to be more mature” is the sort of thing everyone says by default when asked what the follow-up to their debut is going to sound like. And it doesn’t really tell you anything about what it’s going to sound like. I mean, if it was really mature, it might end up being classical or jazz or something. Though ensuring that no one thought this was a possibility, Bugg added: “I don’t want it to be too mature because I’m nineteen but I want it to sound like it’s progressing”.
He also said that he’ll be singing about different things on the next record, rather than just repeating all the lyrics from the first album over new music. Smart move, I say. “I can’t really sing about the same things I sung about on the first album because that would be very dishonest”, he explained. “There’s a lot of people that come from where I’m from that don’t get those opportunities so I think I should give them a bit of an insight of what I’ve experienced so far and what’s been going on”.
Ah, so presumably we can expect songs about spats with One Direction and Bugg’s contempt for the BRITs then. Marvellous.
