CMU Approved
Approved: Jakwob – Right Beside You
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 24 May 2011
There’s not really a huge amount I can say about Jakwob – aka James Jacob – that I haven’t before. You probably know the story by now anyway: made a name for himself with an Ellie Goulding remix, followed by others acclaimed reworks and eventually original tracks, with his official debut single, ‘Here With Me’, released last year. Jakwob signed to Mercury at the end of 2010 and is currently working on his debut album, as well as producing other artists (and juggling all that with finishing his final year of university).
This will be the third time Jakwob has made it into the CMU Approved slot, the first time was with that Ellie Goulding remix, the second with ‘Here With Me’, and now with his latest single, ‘Right Beside You’, which you can stream on SoundCloud ahead of its release on 20 Jun. The reason he appears with such frequency is simple: he’s one of the UK’s most exciting new producers, and his work is notable for its consistent high quality. Like ‘Here With Me’, ‘Right Beside You’ takes dubstep down interesting, melodic avenues that few others are exploring.
