Jake Lancer Shares Wistful Queer Parisian Love Story
New York City, singer, songwriter, Jake Lancer encapsulates the art of storytelling, the nostalgia of pop music, and the vitality of the New York City club kid scene in his debut EP as a solo artist. His music is more than an expression of pop and dance, but a mechanism for healing, a love story, and a voice for those feeling both heartbreak and life’s greatest euphoria.
The queer electronic pop artist’s forthcoming project Take Off!, explores the defiance of his own fears, love, trauma, and joy, using his life’s stories as a canvas to create a compilation of tracks that serve as one singular function. The first single from the project, Feel Your Love, is an exploration of sexuality, the timeless nature of pop music, and Lancer’s longing for affection. Lancer's cry for help becomes a celebration for the universal desire for love and intimacy.
Another notable track on TAKE OFF!, Paris, was just released this past week. It is a 90’s inspired dance ballad that tells a story of having to say goodbye to a lover who is moving to Paris. Lyrically the song explores Jake's internal monologue, not wanting to be selfish in keeping his lover in New York City while the track sonically pays homage to some of the greats, like Whitney Houston to other artists like Big Wild and Years and Years.
Stay tuned for Tomorrowland, the final track on Take Off!, which is set to be the epic finale to what was an intense love affair, yet another reason to dance!
