j.paul Laments Lost Time in New Bedroom-Pop Single “Waiting 4 Me”

By Margaret Adams

Up and coming surf-rock artist j.paul has released his new single “Waiting 4 Me;” the track is j.paul’s second single, following his debut, “Untitled.” Utilizing his trusty drum machine, j.paul has written his latest track about passing the time while driving in and out of traffic on the way to work.

80’s inspired drums and plucky guitar sounds make this “Waiting 4 Me” the ultimate bedroom pop track. His voice is reminiscent of boy pablo, with his easy-going and cool tone. While the song has an ultimately uplifting sound and beat, it’s about the mundane waiting for the traffic to pass while going to work; the mentions of the wasting of youth is contrasted with images of young love like cherry-flavored chapstick, 2am driving, “Pet Sounds” by the Beach Boys, and the Big Apple.

Cause I’m missing you so bad
And your cherry flavored chapstick
While I’m wasting my youth
Stuck in Manhattan traffic

Fans of boy pablo, The Strokes, Gus Dapperton, and Dayglow should check out j.paul’s new single “Waiting 4 Me,” available on your favorite streaming platform. Listen to this song and other great music on the Alchemical Records Multigenre Mixture on Spotify.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
