Jacob Chacko’s Give Me The Good Stuff feels like a collection stitched together with honesty, reflection, and a quiet sense of purpose. Blending pop, rock, and gospel influences, the EP explores the emotional range of human experience — from loss to perseverance to humility — without ever feeling forced or overworked.
The journey begins with Come To Me, a beautifully restrained piece that wraps grief in a gentle, dreamlike haze. Its soft-rock soundscape feels like an evening sky fading into memory — calm but aching with longing. Jacob’s vocals carry both sorrow and warmth, striking a balance that makes the song deeply comforting rather than despairing. Then there’s Fallen Dreams, which moves toward hope without losing depth. It’s the kind of song that lifts you up with its steady rhythm and infectious melody, capturing that universal drive to keep chasing what feels just out of reach. The production is crisp and open, allowing the message of perseverance to breathe.
The closing track, Control My Pride, turns inward. It’s a clever, rhythm-driven tune where electronic and organic elements meet in perfect tension. The groove keeps things light, but underneath it is a call for self-awareness — an invitation to look in the mirror, to step back from ego, and find balance in humility. It’s quirky, yes, but also deeply human. Throughout the EP, Chacko’s collaboration with Thomas Monaco, Talya Gelfand, Les Lovell, and Mike Dawson shines through. Every note feels intentional, every lyric grounded in real emotion. Give Me The Good Stuff isn’t just a title — it’s a promise Jacob delivers with sincerity and soul.
