Jason Reeves debuts "More In Love With You"

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.

Jason Reeves Debuts "No Lies" Ft. Colbie Caillat

Longtime friends and collaborators Jason Reeves and Colbie Caillat have finally teamed up for their duet track "No Lies" from Reeves's new album "The Lovesick," which features an "edgier" sound that showcases Reeves's unique blend of modern folk and pop sensibilities. Reeves has crafted an elegantly entrancing pop masterpiece that's as hypnotic as it is heartbreaking. Reeves pens songs with a mastery a la Bob Dylan and a sense of wonder reminiscent of Coldplay. He's made an incredible, infectious opus that anyone can feel after just one listen.
Much like the rest of the songs on "The Lovesick," "No Lies" combines folk-style guitars and Pop/Hip-Hop undertones, is one of those quintessential songs of devotion, which Reeves sings with a yearning ease. Shot in the scenic hills of Malibu and Santa Barbara, the Nathanael Matanik-directed video is a tasty-sweet ending to one long summer. It features the two pop darlings writing love notes to each other across a rocky beach landscape in separate scenes, with Reeves sitting under a tree in an empty valley while Caillat appears on a beach, each writing letters to one another. The two ultimately collide on the same beach, where they exchange their letters and read them side by side, with the final frame focusing in on the duo's matching foot tattoos.
"This is the first music video Colbie and I have shot together after all these years of writing and singing together and I'm very excited about that! We went back to the places along the California coast where we wrote our first songs and used to hang out when I had just moved there from Iowa," Reeves told AOL Music. "This song has that perfect tension that makes a duet work and I love that the video is in a way a confrontation. She is my lost-girl sister and there will never be somebody with a voice quite like hers again."
"'No Lies' is my favorite song of his," Caillat also tells AOL Music. "The realness in this song opened my eyes with a wake-up call, a beautiful wake-up call. Every person has felt this way before, and should always remember to live honestly. This song even helped inspire my album title 'All Of You.' Shooting this video in my home town of Malibu, Calif. with my lost-boy brother was such a fun day. Waking up before sunrise to start shooting, eating breakfast at our favorite beach, getting in trouble by security guards... felt like kids again."
