Description
It's tough to talk about hard - hitting topics like violence, abuse, addiction, and abandonment, especially when they shatter childhood innocence. Luke Jenner's new solo project, '1', is truly remarkable. He not only addresses these themes but also brings them out of the shadows of shame and into the light. This gives listeners and survivors the courage to hold their heads high. In a time filled with empty pop music, the project's goal of helping people is almost like a revelation. As the front man of the iconic post - punk NYC band The Rapture, Jenner has always been open about his beliefs in God, community, and family. While The Rapture's records only touched on these themes, Jenner's album '1' wholeheartedly embraces them. It has a powerful yet kind - hearted vision, tracing Jenner's personal journey from the trauma of family abuse to the happiness he finds in his own family and survivor community, all within the context of rock history and the music that supported him. Songs like George Harrison's 'All Things Must Pass' and Daniel Johnston's works come to mind, as Jenner's project also emphasizes multiple voices, from his own pain - filled and despairing tones to harmonious melodies, and includes samples from his family, friends, and sponsors like a church choir.
