A Bold Independent Voice From Los Angeles
LA based independent artist Jacob Tell continues to prove that honest songwriting and dedication to craft still matter in today’s music landscape. With his upcoming album Hard To Be Human set for release in 2026, Jacob Tell’s “Hard To Be Human” steps confidently into his most complete and emotionally grounded work to date.
Hard To Be Human is an eleven track collection produced by Don Douglass and distributed by Ekletrik Rekordz. It captures the quiet strength that comes from embracing vulnerability rather than avoiding it. This album feels less like a performance and more like a conversation. It invites listeners into thoughts and feelings many of us struggle to articulate. Jacob Tell makes it relatable and sincere in “Hard To Be Human.”
Hard To Be Human Finds Connection Through Honesty
What stands out most about Jacob Tell is his willingness to sit with real emotion. There is no pretense here. Each song carries intention, clarity, and heart. Hard To Be Human does not chase trends. Instead, it leans into authenticity, allowing the songwriting to lead the way. Jacob Tell emphasizes that it can be hard to be human in a world that’s always rushing.
This is music for late nights, long drives, and moments of reflection. Jacob has a way of turning everyday experiences into something meaningful. He reminds us that being human is not about perfection but about feeling deeply and showing up anyway.
Music Spotlight One Final Thought of You
One Final Thought of You is a powerful and emotionally rich release from Jacob Tell. It highlights his continued growth as a songwriter and storyteller. The song unfolds slowly and intentionally, allowing the emotion to settle in rather than rush past the listener. From the opening moments, there is a sense of reflection and quiet honesty that immediately draws you in (Has a classic John Lennon vibe in my humble opinion).
Jacob’s vocal delivery feels deeply personal, carrying a weight that suggests lived experience rather than performance. There is vulnerability in the way the song breathes, with space given to both the lyrics and the melody. The production remains tasteful and restrained, supporting the emotion of the track without distracting from its message.
What truly makes One Final Thought of You stand out is its ability to capture the feeling of holding onto a memory long after a moment has passed. It speaks to the complexity of love, loss, and emotional closure in a way that feels sincere and relatable. This is not a song designed for instant impact but rather one that lingers and grows stronger with each listen.
As a spotlight release, One Final Thought of You serves as a strong representation of what listeners can expect from Hard To Be Human. It reinforces Jacob Tell’s strength in crafting music that is honest, thoughtful, and emotionally grounded, making it a standout track in his growing catalog.
