CADEN JESTER and BLAKE ROSE, “Vacant Love”
It starts off a bit deceptively, as it phases in introducing the fine voice of Blake Rose, but “Vacant Love” by SoCal producer Caden Jester is actually a memorable, zingy toe-tapper that nicely straddles the finer lines between pop and dance music. Pop-wise, it’s an engaging, melodic song, and I must say that Blake’s vocal is one of the finest by a new singer that I’ve heard in a while. Caden Jester’s production keeps the snappy rhythm flowing, cleverly using a quieter vocal break that might otherwise be the place for a big drop, and it works extremely well. “Vacant Love” gets an immediate two thumbs up for me and club DJ’s should enjoy a song that will take audiences out of a slower set from zero to 140 🙂
