But it’s not just his influences that shine through—it’s his own authenticity and charisma. ‘Voodoo’ reflects Jake’s ability to bridge the past and present, and it’s a connection listeners will feel in every note.

The track’s concept is as captivating as its execution. “Love can make you do crazy things,” Jake shares, explaining how ‘Voodoo’ intertwines the theme of passion with the rich cultural heritage of Louisiana. The hypnotic beat sets the stage for his smooth vocals to take center stage, weaving a tale of love’s intoxicating spell. It’s an ode to the magic of love, rooted in his home state’s cultural identity.

What makes ‘Voodoo’ so addictive is its perfect balance of sultry vibes and catchy hooks. Jake’s delivery feels effortless, drawing you in with each verse. The production complements his voice, layering lush harmonies over a laid-back groove that’s impossible not to vibe with. It’s the kind of song that’ll have you hitting repeat without even realizing it.
