Papa Jack Couch has done the impossible with his latest single, "Jesus' Love Is Actual." he's transformed vintage Gospel's timeless soul and doused it with a healthy dose of that grungy-garage surf rock that sounds decidedly Miami-dusted. The result is a spiritually grounded song as sonically surprising as it gets. Something is both charming and twisted about blending Gospel themes with surf rock beats, and that's where this track truly shines. By the time the song ends, you'll feel a little lighter, a little more hopeful, and a little more inclined to sing your heart out with Mitski.
The rhythm is full of that signature surf-rock buoyancy; listen to the rolling drums, twangy guitar licks, and toe-tapping tempo that inspire one to groove one's troubles far away. But what distinguishes this track is the alchemy at work: for all the upbeat, unavoidably catchy vibe, the beats at its heart convey a sincere and affirming message. Papa Jack Couch is offering a lot more than that to the listener. "Jesus' Love Is Actual" is not just a song to listen to; it's a song that you feel, and it's exuberant, lively, and, most of all, sincere.
"Jesus' Love Is Real" doesn't strive to be showy but doesn't have to. It's sure of what it's here to do: to lift, to inspire, to get as many earholes as it can from point A to point B packed with the truth it serves. Its lyrics are steeped in classic Gospel traditions, delivering a message that is as unrelenting as it is all-encompassing. And yet, encased in this gleaming, close-to-retro sonic armor, it feels fresh. If you need something that feeds the soul and lifts the spirit, and it does so in a way you've never quite heard before, here's the track for you. You may even find yourself hitting the repeat button. Don't be surprised if it finds its way into the hearts and playlists of true believers and music lovers alike.
