Jett Rebel - That Place

"I got the only light in the streets still burning"

The world has a new pop personality, and his name is Jett Rebel. Hailing from the Netherlands, Rebel isn't what you'd expect. His music and image hearkens back to the dirty glam rock of the 70's, yet his music is just as informed by funk and r&b. He's a bundle of charisma--the type we don't see enough of in current male singers. He's released some pretty great singles so far (Do You Love Me At All is a pretty powerful opening shot and I love his new Spider-Man soundtrack entry), but I feel like his best music is still in front of him. Despite being a fan of glam myself, I like it even more when Jett goes a little synthier. That Place is a super catchy 80's flavored confection. It opens his second EP and really should have been its single as far as I'm concerned. I can't wait to see where he goes from here, as I feel like this is only the very beginning for a very exciting new star.

Jett Rebel - Do You Love Me At All

"I'm surprised that you called"

While trawling the worldwide itunes charts, I stumbled on this little ditty from the Netherlands. It instantly struck me because it's a complete throwback. This is classic garage glam rock--a total punch of adrenaline in less than three minutes. Something like the Strokes or Jet covering a track by the Sweet. I mean, with a moniker like Jett Rebel, could it be anything else? One listen to the incessant hook of this energetic single and you'll be hooked. It's been out for quite a few months now, and part of an EP that continues the classic glam fun. I know it won't be to everyone's taste, but if you're in the mood for something of this nature, this will be exactly the song you're looking for.
