London based singer/songwriter Fox Jackson has been enamored by music from as young as he can remember. Inspired by the likes of artists such as Earth Wind and Fire, Kool and the Gang and George Benson, his music blends funk-fuelled melodies, sexy vocals and dance-worthy beats, creating a vibrant and distinct sound which is undeniably his own.
His career in the entertainment industry began at just 11 years old, when he landed the lead role as Billy Elliot, in the hit West End musical, “Billy Elliot the Musical“. His time there solidified his desire to be on stage, while also pushing him to dive deeper into the world of music. Following multiple roles on both stage and TV, Fox soon made an easy transition to his first love and true calling, music. Discovering his own sound and style, Fox has since been crafting music.
“Like That” is the second single to be released from the upcoming EP, So Divine. The track speaks about wanting to be the best version of yourself for your partner and understanding what needs to be done in order to get there. The songwriter shares, “It’s really about wanting to be enough for someone and if you’re not enough then that’s okay, but let me see if I can be. It’s about having the courage and love to try, but sometimes also having the strength to let bygones be bygones.”
“Like That” shimmers with an R&B groove, and lush production reminiscent of Tom Misch. The stripped back chorus allows Fox’s velvet vocals to melt over a sexy guitarline, before picking back up into a funk-driven, move-inducing melody.
As he continues to inspire romance, love and communication through his music, Fox Jackson is certain to be London’s very own cupid, with So Divine due 2024.
