Saturday Night, Sunday Morning [Hand-signed Autographed J acket] [Limited Edition] [B&N Exclusive]

by Jake Bugg

Overview

On his fifth studio album, 2021's hooky Saturday Night, Sunday Morning, British singer/songwriter Jake Bugg embraces a robust, mainstream pop/rock vibe that still retains some of his vintage inspirations. Produced by Steve Mac (Ed Sheeran, Paloma Faith, 5 Seconds of Summer), Saturday Night, Sunday Morning is a more dynamic album than Hearts That Strain. It's a sound that makes some sense for Bugg, whose early work conjured a precocious blend of '60s folk icon Donovan with the amped-up swagger of Oasis. Saturday Night, Sunday Morning is perhaps his best balance of those two touchstones. The rambling, acoustic fingerpicking of "Hold Tight" is the closest moment to Hearts That Strain, and one that also evokes the low-key acoustic blues and folk of his first few albums. There are several other vintage-inspired moments, including the '70s Bee Gees-esque balladry of "Scene" and the Roy Orbison-sounding "Maybe It's Today." Tracks like "About Last Night" and "Rabbit Hole" are also catchy as Mac frames Bugg's sweet croon with garagey, Arctic Monkeys-style electric guitar riffs. These are fine songs and Bugg's reedy alto is showcased to nice effect throughout. Undoubtedly, Saturday Night, Sunday Morning is the culmination of Bugg's rise to mainstream success. ~ Matt Collar
