Jake Hays Shares New Single ‘OVERCOMPLICATED’

California-based multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, actor and producer Jake Hays has just shared his brand new single OVERCOMPLICATED, a fun, danceable piece of indie/alt-pop music.

I am really fond of the tone of his vocals and how the melodies give the song a playful, feel-good atmosphere. OVERCOMPLICATED tells a story about the aftermath of a bad first date, where one person is trying to put up clear boundaries and the other person refuses to take the hint. This message is wrapped around a fun indie-pop production with cool beat and a chorus perfect to sing along to.

Accompanying the release, Jake Hays shares its fun and somewhat cinematic music video which he directed with Olivia DeLaurentis. The video sees Jake waking up in a basement, chained to the floor, and has to endure bizarre psychological games at the hands of a devilish mascot and a vengeful ex-date. Check it out below!
