Jake Troth “Material Things”
Previously heralded around these parts for his remix of Kanye West’s “Love Lockdown” as well as an indie-pop-flavored re-working of T-Pain’s “Chopped & Screwed”, North Carolina singer-songwriter Jake Troth proves he can produce approving original material as well with new single “Material Things”, a whistle-and-handclap-laden cut that somewhat sarcastically hypes a good life with high-priced gear filling up his closet, model chicks on his arm and an iPod bulging with the best of “Weezy, Jeezy, Yeezy and B.I.G.”.
“Oh the happiness these materials bring,” Troth casually chimes, inspiring a series of playful “cha-ching” echoes on the hook.
No worries though, one needn’t be experiencing the perks of such a lavish existence in order to be drawn in to the song’s melodic, indie-pop charms.
