Still only 26-years-old, Jake Bugg already has 4 albums and numerous hits to his name. This new single will be his next success, without a doubt. After appearing on Spotify for a full 17 nano seconds on 22 May, Rabbit Hole was pulled back off. A week later, the track – already a live favourite – got its proper release.

Rabbit Hole was written and recorded with Tobias Jesso Jr. (Sia, Adele) and Andrew Wells (Ellie Goulding, Jason Mraz). Opening with a solemn guitar riff, it builds to an upbeat chorus. Compared to his earlier work, this song is more polished and danceable. But despite its highly treated guitars and hooky vocals, Rabbit Hole has the undeniable Jake Bugg DNA.

On the song’s release, he says: “I wrote and recorded this in LA about a year ago. It was an instant one for me and went straight into the live set for the last two tours. I’ve had loads of requests to release it, so I’m excited to get this one out there.”
