Jarrad Ricketts releases new single ‘Thinking Bout’ and reveals debut album ‘Break The Rules’
Cape Town-born hitmaker, Jarrad Ricketts, has been wowing South African and European crowds with his captivating live performances and chart-topping radio hits. He recently released his brand new single ‘Thinking Bout’, taken from his forthcoming debut album ‘Break The Rules’
Jarrad Ricketts has garnered a vast fanbase with the release of hit singles ‘Take Me To Your Heart’ and ‘New Life’, both which are included on Rickett’s debut album ‘Break The Rules’.
Ricketts is excited for fans to hear the new single and explains what everyone can expect. He said: "My single ‘Thinking Bout’ is a fresh and exciting summer anthem for all those music lovers who enjoy a bit of nostalgia, and giving you throwback Thursday vibes every day of the week, coupled with feel-good catchy lyrics and a bassline that will get your feet tapping. It was written and recorded as a tribute to the "New Jack Swing" era of the early and mid 90s POP/RnB scene, so I really hope you all enjoy my latest audio feast!"
Jarrad grew up on the Cape Flats in Athlone, and it was the arts that gave him a sense of direction that lead him to write and record his own music. Without any formal training in the arts, his persistence and drive steered him into pursuing his music career which opened up opportunities for him to perform in countries such as Spain, Finland and Sweden.
Most recently, Ricketts had the privilege of performing the British National Anthem “God Save The Queen” in front of 40 000 people at Newlands Rugby Stadium for the South Africa vs England rugby match. His performance was televised to over 150 countries internationally, an incredible moment for this young singer.
With so much achieved already, the best is yet to come.
