JEREMY LOOPS New Single ‘HEAD START’ From His Third Album "HEARD YOU GOT LOVE'"

Hey all 💜

Last month I updated on Female Artiste and this month, I'm going to introduce you guys to a Male Artiste straight from South Africa. Presenting Jeremy Loops, a South African singer, songwriter, record producer and eco-activist.

Who Is Jeremy Loops? 

.

Jeremy Thomas Hewitt (born March 4, 1984) is known by his stage name Jeremy Loops. He was born and raised in Kommetjie, South Africa, a small surf town in the greater Cape Town metropolis. The eldest of three children, he has a Swiss mother and a South African father. Jeremy attended the University of Cape Town, where he graduated in Finance and Property Development.

Loops is a latecomer to music, and Jeremy is a self-taught musician who picked up his first guitar at university. As his love for writing songs grew, the South African penned melodies while working aboard superyachts, where he worked his way up from deckhand to yacht master.

Obsessed with squeezing music into every day on shore and evening on the deck, Jeremy’s trusty loop pedal followed him around his tour of the seas. In 2010, upon returning from his travels and committed to pursuing a career in music

JEREMY LOOPS CAREER BEGINNINGS

In October 2011, Loops released his self-titled debut EP. His debut album Trading Change was released in March 2014 in South Africa. The album was released in North America and South America via Yebo Music in August 2015, and in Europe and Australia in February 2016.

He would spend 2011, 2012, and 2013 growing his profile in South Africa on the back of an acclaimed live show that would eventually earn him the Best Live Act Award at the 2014 MK Awards.

In January 2014, he released "Down South" (featuring Motheo Moleko), the lead single from his debut album Trading Change. This song became an instant hit, peaking at number one on South African Top 40 radio stations which drew a lot of attention to his album.

In 2018, Loops released the album "Critical as Water". This album tackled the severe water shortage that the singer's home city, Cape Town, faced during that time.

In April 2022, Loops released "Better Together" and its accompanying music video, ahead of his upcoming third studio album Heard You Got Love, which is set to be released on July 8.

ECO-PROJECT - GREENPOP

Loops also co-founded the tree planting organisation Greenpop.

Whilst working closely with the water, Jeremy was shocked to see the volume of waste in the industry. It is this experience that fuelled one of his many initiatives, Greenpop, the eco-project that has filled 400 green-free spaces with over 150,000 trees. As his career quickly developed, Jeremy has worked hard to offset any carbon emissions from touring and constantly puts social responsibility at the forefront of his movements.

The long-time activist founded The Big Food Drive to deliver food supplies to some of the poorest communities in South Africa. The crowd-funded campaign has built a food distribution network with other partners that contributed toward 55,000 meals per week for 6 months for those in need.

ED SHEERAN 

& LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO

FOR BRAND NEW RECORD

‘HEARD YOU GOT LOVE’

OUT TODAY ON DECCA RECORDS

LEAD SINGLE ‘HEAD START’ IS ALSO OUT TODAY HERE

PRODUCED BY RED TRIANGLE

Jeremy Loops has played some of the world’s most prestigious venues – including a sell-out headline Brixton Academy show here in the UK – with his high-energy music, amassing over 250 million global streams, and growing. Today he releases his long-awaited third album, ‘Heard You Got Love’, a record of head-bopping anthems perfect for sunny days.

Also released today is Jeremy’s feel-good, laid back and hooky single ‘Head Start’, produced by the prolific Red Triangle (Camilla Cabella, Charlie Puth, Yungblud), co-written by Wayne Hector (Nicki Minaj’s ‘Starships’) and featuring Jeremy’s easing voice and effortless guitar. 

This follows his previous single ‘Better Together’ which was co-written with none other than Ed Sheeran. After meeting backstage at a show in South Africa, the pair hit it off – with Ed even joking that Jeremy was a better ‘loop’ artist than him – and decided to work together.

The first single from this album was written and recorded with one of Jeremy’s life-long influences, the iconic, world-renowned, South African vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The group formed in the 1960s to create traditional world music with energetic, uniquely spirited harmonies, and here their distinctive style fits perfectly with Jeremy’s sound. Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s celebrated career was followed by a young Jeremy who was brought to tears after first seeing them live. To collaborate on this album was a dream come true.

Jeremy has carefully merged these values into each corner of his latest record.

He says, “This is the album I’ve always wanted to make and my hope is that some of the things I’ve written about will mean as much to others as they do to me. Every song speaks to something I care deeply about.”

 

The album ‘Heard You Got Love’ allowed Jeremy to explore more technical aspects of recording than he has previously. The record came to life in Jeremy’s home studio in between daily dips in the ocean. He collaborated with world-renowned artists such as Simone Felice (The Lumineers), Jake Gosling (Shawn Mendes), Tobias Kuhn (Milky Chance) and Carey Willets (Dermot Kennedy). He also brought on a fleet of high-end producers for the album, including Ed Holloway (Lewis Capaldi), Eg White (Adele) and Cam Blackwood (George Ezra).

Head Start Jeremy Loops

When I grow up, I want to be young

Heard you got love, can I get some?

Me up a fresh start

I wish I could say, I wish I could warn

Warn myself, before I was born

Give myself a head start

Rob me of my innocence

Leave me with the consequence

Tell me that I'm out of my mind

And I've been to hell and back again

But everyone still acts the same

Have you seen the world is on fire?

When I grow up, I want to be young

Heard you got love, can I get some?

Me up a fresh start

I wish I could say, I wish I could warn

Warn myself, before I was born

Give myself a head start

When I grow up, yeah

When I grow up, hmm

Forward, never looking back

I don't try to hide the cracks

All my bad decisions

And home is where I hang my hat

In the cape sun on my back

Been locked down but still fighting

And I hope you're by my side

When I grow up, I want to be young

Heard you got love, can I get some?

Me up a fresh start

I wish I could say, I wish I could warn

Warn myself, before I was born

Give myself a head start

When I grow up, yeah

I want to find peace now, baby, it's on

When I grow up, yeah, hmm

It's nothing less and nothing more

When I grow up, yeah

I hope you find peace now, baby, come on

When I grow up, hmm

Nothing less and nothing more

rob my of innocence

(Tell me that I'm out of my mind) tell me that I'm out of my mind

(Been to hell and back again) and I've been to hell and back again

(Have you seen the world is on fire?) Have you seen the world is on fire?

When I grow up, I want to be young

Heard you got love, can I get some?

Me up a fresh start

(Have you seen the world is on fire?)

I wish I could say, I wish I could warn

Warn myself, before I was born

Give myself a head start

When I grow up, yeah

I want to find peace now, baby, it's on

When I grow up, yeah, hmm

It's nothing less and nothing more

When I grow up, yeah

I hope you find peace now, baby, come on

When I grow up, hmm

Nothing less and nothing more

When I grow up, yeah

When I grow up
