VALE Record’s current artist, Jake!, released a new single, \u201cCrash Into Me,\u201d in mid-October.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jake Nguyen has been working with VALE, LVC\u2019s student-run record label, after being selected through VALE’s yearly artist auditions last spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo far, the process with VALE has gone smoother than I thought it would,\u201d the sophomore music education major said. \u201cThere were still a few bumps in the road, but I was still satisfied with the product.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nguyen also discussed how his time with VALE has influenced him as an artist and opened his eyes to new possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of the music I write is more often than not, written for voice and guitar only,\u201d Nguyen said. \u201cSo, it was really cool to see how the song can evolve and incorporate other instruments as well.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nguyen expressed being very pleased with how VALE\u2019s production team handled the mixing and mastering for this new single.  He also shared a bit about his inspiration behind the song, stating that it discusses how everyone will experience difficult times.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe important part is that we learn and grow from the experience,\u201d Nguyen said. \u201cThen, in my instance, I was trying to prove to someone what I was learning to be better and, with time, was trying to earn back their trust. Hence the lyric, \u2018Darling don’t you worry just crash into me.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After his time as VALE artist comes to an end, Jake does plan to continue to make music for his own enjoyment. He is unsure if he will continue to share those future works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’d like to keep creating because it’s really cool to have something that’ll be around longer than I will,\u201d Nguyen said. \u201cI will always be thankful for the opportunities that VALE has given me, but for the time being, my desire for performing is not as great as it was in years past,\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nguyen\u2019s single, as well as his full EP, \u201cCatawissa,\u201d is available on BandCamp. This single can be downloaded for free. For a limited time, the full EP can be downloaded for free.
