Jane N’ The Jungle’s acoustic takes on the song “Life of the Party”, which is the title track of their new mini-album EP uncovers a different side of the original track. The combination of Jordan White’s lyrics imbued with an entirely new meaning and Brian Dellis’ crumbling yet heart-wrenching acoustic guitar give a vivacious contrast to the whole thing.
The song is dedicated to the idea of fighting the addiction that drugs emanate presenting how in spite of everything good will triumph, for example love or the desire to protect a child.
What further marks off Jane N’ The Jungle is their unparalleled skill of preserving the melody, lyricism and general mood of the song and juxtaposing them with the song’s authentic acoustic aridity. Jordan White’s bluesy vocals and the lethal instrument skill by Brian Dellis create an authentic and intense sound that hits all the marks and which anybody can relate to.
From the haunting and incredible vocals of White to Dellis’ guitar that delivers uninhibited emotion is probably one of the most precise unmasking of the overall emotion coming through an artist. The sparse placement of musical instruments puts the song’s sentiment in full light, triggering the feeling in listeners that captivates them from the beginning till the end.
The remix of this song focuses on a naked and rough sort of energy, which upgrades the track back into a very listenable form – this time, in a completely another perspective. The characteristic voice of White screams higher and higher as he harmonizes with Dellit’s reflecting guitar crash. This combination has the effect of making listeners become increasingly drawn into the whole experience.
The lyrics also touches the heart for the way it is composed and also through the message, which reminds us of the downside of addiction and obsessions. What mostly make the song’s chorus exceptional is the kind of beauty it exerts, like the melody leave the listener with a deep, soul-stirring feeling that cannot be forgotten easily.
