JD Clayton’s Full Band Sound Shines On Funky New Single “Let You Down”

The best songwriters out there have the unique ability to draw inspiration from a relatively mundane interaction and turn it into a captivating song and story. And that's exactly what JD Clayton did in his brand new single "Let You Down." Written after a casual conversation with a barista at a coffee shop, Clayton's latest release makes the most of a rather gloomy situation with the clever lyricism that has become a signature aspect of his growing catalog of music. In a press package circulated by his team at IVPR, Clayton cut right to the chase in providing the context behind his brand new single. "I wrote 'Let You Down' on a rainy Monday afternoon. I has just met my new bass player, Lee, for coffee. We enjoyed a great conversation with the barista while it was pouring rain outside. The barista tried over and over to give us her favorite recommendations for our dinner that evening but every single place she suggested was closed that day. After the 5th try came up closed, we all sat there and laughed. I drove home with a free evening ahead humming what had just occurred into my voice memos app." But perhaps more importantly than the lyricism in "Let You Down," or how the song came about in the first place, is the soulful vocal delivery that is bolstered by a funky, big band sound that Clayton and Co. have given glimpses of at times, but hadn't brought the full attack out to this extent until now. I mean, he and the band absolutely killed it on this one.
