The ‘Obvious’ EP is out now via MADE Music, marking a definitive creative milestone for Hertfordshire songwriter Jack Kane. This five-song collection functions as a narrative short film that documents the collapse of a messy relationship through vivid and awkward details. The title track serves as the emotional anchor, capturing the gut-punch of hindsight and the regret of ignoring gut feelings during a breakup. Listeners find a mix of intimate bus window stares and expansive, neon-lit choruses throughout the production. This record pulses with a sharp and modern alt-pop polish that balances vintage textures with arena-ready hooks.
The tracklist begins with “Wisdom Tooth,” a song that captures the restless intensity of infatuation through jangling guitars and crisp percussion. Kane collaborated with BLUEGIRL on “Loving You (Is A Drag)” to explore the complexities of a relationship turning stale, while “Breaking Up At The Department Store” sets emotional chaos against a sterile, vintage-style backdrop. “Civil Unrest” provides a reflective look at the turbulence of disentangling lives before the title track closes the story. These songs benefit from a collaborative team including Mark Elliot, Toni Howard, and Odd Martin. This EP radiates a raw and immediate energy that signals the arrival of a major voice in the new wave of UK songwriters.
