Welcoming us into a triumphant Friday, Jack West delivers the track “Montreal” — the lead offering from his upcoming studio album. With sounds that are reminiscent of a closing credits scene in a hero-based film, the track instantly plummets you into an uptempo soundscape packed to the brim with mind-melting synths. “Montreal” is a significant new move for the alternative pop artist, as he leans into a futuristic style while enchanting his audience.

Speaking on the track, Jack West says, “It’s dream-pop acid music.” Hinting that the sounds will be present throughout the entire album, we welcome the 80s vibe of “Montreal” with open arms. And while the track features angelic backing vocals which are both calming and hypnotic by nature, there is no doubt that NUMB will have us feeling everything but its namesake.

Due to drop NUMB on May 20th, the 17-year-old artist has made no secret of the fact that his journey through artistry is only just beginning. To listen to the track, scroll below…
