Jawbone’s new single, “Horizons of Hope,” delivers an uplifting message. Their new album, “Jawbone II,” will be out on May 23rd, and it promises a bold, fresh wave of energy that “Horizon of Hope” is just the first taste of.
Reality is a certainty, and in a world still recovering from the pandemic, uncertainty is an experience many can sympathize with. So naturally, once the band went through the sensations, the track was born when they found themselves contemplating that life might never feel similar again. But instead of giving in to despair, Jawbone decided to change course. Using their signature roots rock sound, they turned that unfounded feeling into something much more uplifting, letting the theme of hope shine from the notes they play.
The most striking thing about “Horizons of Hope” is its striking production. Engineer Javier Weyler amplifies the track’s groove, bringing bright, glimmering elements to the forefront. The layered makeup comes to life as it draws on the band’s gift for textures that have a fresh sheen while also bringing to mind something nostalgic. Everything about it, from the brisk tempo to the soaring vocals, sounds like a rallying call, a reminder that the unknowns are nothing compared to the good ones.
The track runs through an unmistakable sense of catharsis, an energy that feels personal and universal. “Horizons of Hope” is, at its heart, an illustration that no matter how dark the world seems, there is always space for hope. With Jawbone on the verge of releasing “Jawbone II,” “Horizons of Hope” offers a tiny peek at the group’s talent. It transmutes challenging life situations into art that embraces its audience and their souls. It’s a song that delivers a welcome and needed burst of hope, a timely anthem for seekers of light in dark times.
