No stranger to the world of pop, Jesse McCartney, the multi-talented singer-songwriter musician, who first came onto the scene as a teen heartthrob and later became celebrated for his chart-topping hits and memorable roles on screen, unveils a seductive new single, "Faux Fur." The track effortlessly captures retro R&B groove and funk layered with his soulful vocals.

The forthcoming EP "All’s Well," scheduled for release on April 5, provides a sneak peek into its new identity through the lead single "Faux Fur," one of two tracks co-produced by Andrew Dixon, skillfully capturing the evolved sound of the catalog. Drawing inspiration from the nostalgic sounds of R&B, McCartney sings "Some things can’t buy, Your heart your time, Your hand in mine" over the echoey whistles, choppy acoustic strums, deliciously wah’ed guitar, and luscious bass.

"Recording this song was probably the most inspiring and exciting session I've ever done because we recorded with a live band. It doesn't sound so revolutionary until you realize that this almost never happens anymore. We used a legendary studio in Los Angeles (Village Studios), and the musicians
were top-notch superstars of the studio musician world, including Victor Andrizzo on Drums and Sean Hurley on Bass, who has played on dozens of top hit songs! A peak experience for me!" he said.

McCartney found a muse for his EP in an old Hall and Oates LP he acquired last year. The vinyl became a constant presence on his turntable, with its timeless appeal of classics that inspire and uplift. These aspects set off a chain of events that gave birth to his upcoming musical pieces.
