Jon Hayes takes a calm and authentic approach with "there something?," an R&B and soul track that conveys deep intimacy from the outset. The song progresses quietly, putting his voice and emotion front and center, pulling you into a mood of contemplation and subtle questioning.
The track is raw in its questioning, born out of a difficult time of spiritual confusion and isolation. Hayes explores the weight of disconnection in a once-familiar place, with touches of belonging, leadership, and faith. The song is sung with a nuanced strength.
Hayes embraces the uncertainty, allowing the atmosphere to dictate the experience. His voice oscillates between the delicate and the subtly resilient, embodying the spirit of profound inquiry, yet still grasping the intangible. "there something?" is a moment of truth, and it means an artist is ready to face himself and show the world his flaws. It is a big step forward in his evolution.
