SINGER-SONGWRITER JAKE BANFIELD
RELEASES OFFICIAL VISUALIZER FOR BREAKUP BALLAD
“THOUGHT OF YOU”
Thursday, October 16 (Nashville) – Today, genre-blending singer-songwriter Jake Banfield is releasing the official visualizer to his haunting breakup ballad “Thought of You,” WATCH HERE.
ICYMI: “Thought of You” is one of the more heartfelt songs (and the closing track) of Jake’s recently released debut studio album, Open Bars, a 12-track LP of bangers and ballads that seamlessly blend country heat with ‘90s hip-hop and Y2K pop. Listed by NPR Music as one of the best new country albums upon release, listen to Open Bars HERE
Speaking on the heart-rending song, Jake Banfield says, “‘Thought of You’ is about closure, and how important it is, no matter how painful, so it only felt right to close the album with it. I wrote it about a girl who already had an exit plan. You could tear her down, but you hold back because you still love her… now, all that’s left is the thought of her.”

ABOUT JAKE BANFIELD
A natural storyteller, the up-and-coming artist has a gripping and vulnerable (yet resilient) vocal delivery and impressive songwriting chops, which almost went undiscovered. Hailing from a long line of educators and athletes - with several relatives enshrined in the Oklahoma Coaching Hall of Fame - Banfield initially pursued a basketball career until he suffered a game-ending injury. While rehabilitating away from the court, Jake picked up a guitar at a pawn shop and turned to music as his new escape. With a newfound passion and talent as a songwriter, Jake spent some time in LA writing for artists like Madison Beer, and eventually moved from Oklahoma to Nashville to focus on his own artistry.
