Released November 30th, Jay Putty’s single “Trouble” continues to show his musical abilities to the music world. While simplistic in style, the message is one that is sweet, romantic, and relatable. Anyone can listen to this song, nod their head, tap their feet, and just simply enjoy it. The guitar riffs combined with Putty’s smooth vocals creates a melody that one can hum along to for hours at a time. The message behind the song is clear to see that he is in love, and continues to be in love, and how all the trouble was worth them being together. It is a very straightforward message, but the way he presents it makes it feel even more special and personalized. It is the type of song that you would want someone to sing to you on your wedding day. It is hard not to have a smile on your face after listening.

Earlier this week, ITL was fortunate to interview Putty, and we discussed many musicians who influenced him. Some of the answers were Ed Sheeran and John Mayer. Hearing that while listening to the song, it is very easy to hear how Putty is influenced by these artists. He takes what he loves about two artists and uses it to create his own sound and melody. It is fantastic to listen to because he creates a style for himself that anyone can listen to and enjoy. Putty also strays from country style in this song, and elects to be more in a singer/songwriter category. This small transition seems to fit his voice beautifully, and country fans can still hear some of that style sprinkled in his new single.

After the release of this song, Putty plans on touring different coffee shops and is actually releasing a coffee to go along with his new single and coffeeshop touring. In addition, he will be continuing his coffeeshop touring in the UK.
