ASCAP award-winning singer-songwriter Jason Reeves is back with a beautiful music video for his duet with Nelly Joy, "More In Love With You," the first official single from his newest third full-length album, "Songs Are Silent Films," which is out since June 12th. The record will be available through the artist's own abeautifularmyoftrees label both digitally and physically.
Reeves started on piano at the age of five, took up drums for awhile, and taught himself to play guitar when he was a teenager. Grounded in the music of great songwriters like Bob Dylan and James Taylor, he has since won an ASCAP award as a songwriter himself. He has an incredible voice for slow and folk music. Famous for singles such as "Skydive," "Save My Heart," and tracks featuring Colbie Caillat, "Droplets and No Lies," he is now becoming famous at age 28, not bad for a guy who self-produced album while finishing high school in Iowa.
With his newest solo release, "Songs Are Silent Films," Reeves returns to a stripped-down approach to his songwriting. Each song intertwines acoustic guitars with piano to create unforgettable melodies that form the album's eleven tracks. "I wanted to go back to the basics," affirms Reeves. "Each song becomes its own little movie that you can imagine seeing. There's not necessarily an overarching story per se, but all of these songs are written about falling in love."
Written with frequent collaborator Danelle Leverett of the JaneDear Girls and featuring her alter ego Nelly Joy on vocals, the sun-soaked ballad, "More in Love with You," is a classic love story and it echoes the best of classic Nashville finger-picked guitar with a modern touch of soulful harmonies and lyrics for which Reeves has become known. The video was directed by Nathanael Matanick, and was shot in the hills of Tennessee on the brink of spring.
