Artists to Watch:
Jake’s Take’s Artists to Watch is back! Here are some of the next breakout stars that are ready to shake up the music industry!
“Charlie IO” by Ellevator
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada native Nabi Sue Bersche fronts the band Ellevator. The group has shared stages with Banners, Bishop Briggs, Cold War Kids, and Our Lady Peace. Ellevator’s “Charlie IO” superbly weaves a story about a friend’s self-discovery journey. Nabi’s soft vocals brilliantly transport listeners into their world. I am looking forward to listening to their upcoming EP next year. B/B+

Toronto native Human Kebab reminds me so much of Lonely Island and “Weird Al” Yankovic. “Office Romance” is cheesy and hysterical, but it has several catchy hooks that make music lovers laugh. B-/B
“100 Proof” by Julian Taylor
Julian Taylor’s “100 Proof” is a beautiful roots song. He took the Tyler Ellis-penned track and transformed it as the late Johnny Cash did to Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” in 2002. I am looking forward to hearing more from him in the future. B+/A-
“Bartender” by Zach Churchill
Orange County, California native Zach Churchill rounds out this edition of Jake’s Take’s New Music Reviews. When I listened to “Bartender,” there were so many shades that reminded me of Billy Joel’s “Piano Man.” I got the chills as I listened to the song. If there is one new artist that you need to keep your eyes on, it is Zach Churchill. A-
