We’re so ready for a dreamy summer anthem, and it’s right here with the release of “Glimpses” by Fox Jackson. Easily the feel-good tune of the summer, Fox Jackson takes the buzzing happy feeling one gets on those first few dates as a young adult, falling in love, getting to know someone else, and has embedded it right into this awesome song. “Glimpses” acts as the follow-up to Fox Jackson’s previous two-track single, titled “Side A”.
Fox Jackson, full name Fox Jackson-Keen, is a London-based singer-songwriter who has been captivated by music from a young age, drawing inspiration from legendary artists such as Earth Wind and Fire, Kool and the Gang, and George Benson. His unique blend of funk-infused melodies, seductive vocals, and infectious beats gives birth to a vibrant and unmistakable sound that is truly his own. Fox Jackson’s journey in the entertainment industry began at 11 years old when he secured the lead role as Billy Elliot in the renowned West End musical. This early experience ignited his passion for the stage and propelled him to explore the world of music. With a string of roles in theatre and television (including the role of Mobbsy in the 2012 children’s TV show “My Phone Genie”), Fox Jackson seamlessly transitioned to his true calling—music. Finding his own distinct sound and style, he has since been crafting captivating music that resonates with audiences. With hundreds of thousands of Spotify streams to his name, his 2020 debut single “Behind Closed Doors” stands out as a fan-favourite, going on to become his most-streamed track. Fox Jackson’s musical prowess continues to shine, establishing him as an emerging force in the industry, ready to captivate hearts and souls with his undeniable talent.
“Glimpses” has been newly released and just in time as British summer is just starting up with beautiful sunny days (and a couple of rainy days – it’s Britain after all). The track is definitely summer-filled with a throwback feel to it, especially with the radio commentary at the start which introduces the track as if we’re sitting in a car, or we’re playing GTA or some other car driving game. Groovy to no-end, Fox Jackson inspires passion and relaxation in this feel-good tune as he delves into lyrics about wanting to get to know someone he’s keen on – honestly just play them this song and we’re sure they’ll say yes to any date, we sure would. Lustful dream-like melodies whisk the listener away with some gorgeous jangly guitar rhythms mixed around percussion instruments, including what sounds like a xylophone, creating this dynamic summer sun vibe that we can’t get enough of. Whatever your plans are this summer – whether it’s a trip to the beach, a barbecue party, a picnic, a trip abroad, or a dip in the pool – just make sure you have “Glimpses” by Fox Jackson on your summer 2023 playlist.
Talking about this track, Fox Jackson said: “So many times in life, you catch a glimpse of someone and you never really know them, especially living in a world with endless possibilities, and never enough time. This song is saying ‘hey, get to know me cause I really wanna get to know you’. Life would be a little better if you chose me and I chose you, and we ended up knowing each other better than the back of our own hand.”
