Jake Bugg Releases New Song “I Wrote The Book”
British singer-songwriter Jake Bugg will release his upcoming sixth studio album “A Modern Day Distraction” on October 4, 2024 via RCA Records.
From the album he released the fourth and final pre-release single called “I Wrote The Book” on September 20, 2024.
The track was written by Jake Bugg, Mark Taylor, Patrick Mascall, and Paul Barry. Produced by Patrick Mascall and Mark Taylor.
The accompanying music video was directed by Rachael Halaburda.
In the clip, he performed at a pub in the West of Ireland with local people.
Jake Bugg said of the video, “We filmed this in the West of Ireland at an amazing pub on a day off between shows. We invited the locals to join us for a few drinks and a sing along. It was a great time!”- He shared on social media, “We went to an amazing pub in the West of Ireland on a day off between shows and invited locals to join us for a few drinks to play them this song early. Thanks to Eammon Ryan for making it happen, as well as everyone below for helping out.”
He added, “Floriane Blancke - harp, Quentin Cooper - mandolin, Brendan Larrissey - fiddle, Neil O'Loughlin - flute and double bass, all the locals and our band and crew. Also not forgetting the brilliant Margeret, the landlady from O'Loclainn's bar in Ballyvaughan!” -
The new album comprises a 12-track and was born out of a frustration of societal inequality.
It is his first LP in three years since the 2021 album “Saturday Night, Sunday Morning”.
He said of the album, “People might say 'What do you know?' or 'Just stick to music'. I've got a bit of money, but we all know the people this affects. I was just writing it because it was the way I felt. It pisses me off - especially in a country like ours where we have the means and funds to take care of the people suffering the most, but we choose not to.”
