Description: | Jacob Bellensâ?? new solo Off My Meds took shape over two turbulent years in Jacobâ??s life. Several major
life events happened back to back in a very short time, and it ended up breaking him down to a point of
total exhaustion. The energy needed to uphold the outer self we all need to function was no longer
there, and his inner actual beliefs and values began to show themselves one by one, which was not
pretty to look at. Change was inevitable, simply because the price of not changing would be much
higher in the long term.
The album is a pop-poem about accepting the premise of the life given to you. It is an ode to the perils
of modern existence and our birthgiven right to love, laugh and cry, whatever hand we may have been
dealt to begin with. Lyrically it is centered around self care and the courage to love someone and be
loved in return. About taking responsibility for everything in your life instead of using your life history as
an excuse for not living, no matter how tragic or unique your situation might be or seem to yourself.
Musically it draws upon an eclectic mix of influences and genres, while still maintaining a distinct
underlying red thread throughout the album. It is a melancholic funk hybrid with a positive DNA, and
though it sounds like pop music in the best sense of the word, it doesnâ??t quite look and feel like pop
music. It is rather a collection of sounds and feelings put into words that are deeply personal - but
personal for all. - |
