The track follows on from recent release "Saw You In My Dreams".
Channelling the spirit and emotion of D’Angelo, Raphael Sadiq, and Common, singer Aaron Taylor returns with “Jaded”, a seriously silky groove full of interesting production elements. A perfect blend of neo-soul and funk, “Jaded” uses layered vocals and bad-ass brass to deliver a clear and simple message; we are leaving jaded scepticism in 2017.
In his own words: "As an upcoming musician, it can be easy to develop a level of scepticism with all you see around you and this song is just a note-to-self to be less that way."
"Jaded" is out now.
