OUT: Single 'Everybody Needs Some Loving' by Jacob Bellens

“The song was written in realization of what’s actually important in life.” says Jacob. “Halfway through the process, I had an unintentional encounter with an idea for a hookline that felt familiar and the chorus was done shortly after. Sara Nanna, who did the video contacted me a couple of weeks after I had finished the demo, asking me about a video collaboration. I felt her idea for a stop motion film would fit nicely with my song. The package stings like a bee, rocks your body right and I love it. Hope you will love it too."
