Born out of the natural chemistry he shares with frequent collaborator Johnson, Jackson says of the track: “When it was time to get back in the studio after 'HELLO STRANGER', we struck gold with ‘Heart Attack’. A rough demo I had sitting on my hard drive opened up into the world you hear now. It was the perfect push-and-pull to find the sound.”
The propulsive and addictive “Heart Attack” arrives hot on the heels of Jackson’s 2024 sophomore album HELLO STRANGER (VERO Music), a gritty, genre-blurring triumph featuring standout singles “The Fever & The Dream” and “Steady Freddy”. With millions of streams since its October 2024 release, the album, mixed by Eric J Dubowsky (Flume, Chet Faker), has grown Jackson’s profile and more than doubled his fanbase.
Jackson’s first ever tour of the UK and Europe kicks off on September 12 at Colours Hoxton (London, UK) and includes a sold-out headline performance at the highly influential SWR3 NEW POP FESTIVAL in Baden-Baden, Germany on September 20th. Jackson and his band then head back to the USA for a string of West Coast dates including stops at El Cid in Los Angeles and Barboza in Seattle.
Named one of the “Best 15 Acts” at SXSW 2024 by CLASH Magazine, who praised Jackson for having the “showmanship of Sly Stone with the songcraft of Elton John”, the 'HELLO STRANGER TOUR' has thrilled packed audiences from Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right to Brighton’s The Great Escape Festival.
“Every show is an extraordinary and exciting opportunity to connect with people,” Jackson says. “There is no greater or more satisfying energy in the world.”
With now over 600K monthly global listeners, Thunder Jackson’s catalog has amassed more than 50 million streams to date, driven by “The Fever & The Dream” as well as “Guilty Party” and “Love Sick Doctor” from his eponymous 2020 debut, produced by Pete Lawrie Winfield (Until the Ribbon Breaks, Run the Jewels) and mixed by Rob Kinelski (Billie Eilish, Joji).
