Singer-songwriter Jason Wade returns to the blog with another folk-imbued slice of American indie: “Find Me First.”

The song opens to the delightful strums of a slightly upbeat acoustic guitar, joined shortly by the reverberating, retro-inspired notes from an electric. The sound is one that immediately nails our niche for the genre, carefully crafted to keep each and every introspective listener engaged.

Many of you are likely already familiar with Wade’s soft, yet confident vocal prowess, as he has found his way across the airwaves for years via his other projects, including Lifehouse and ØZWALD. With “Find Me First,” his voice flows in a manner akin to The Shins, with a lovely harmony that emerges on the second half of the verse.

This is also the point at which the rhythm section arrives, providing a distinct vintage flavor to the production, which further nestles the track into our folky wheelhouse. And even as the arrangement welcomes additional elements, “Find Me First” still manages to cling tightly to its intimate nature, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves within the sound.

“Find Me First” comes from Jason Wade’s latest LP, A Likely Story, which is now available everywhere you get your music. While you’re at it, connect with Wade across the vastness of the internet: Spotify | Instagram | Facebook
