Nashville-based artist Jack Shields unveils the first single from an upcoming EP with “Hit My Line,” an invigorating single that swells from introspective alternative into a grungy passion. “Waiting for the strength to finally kick it,” smooth vocals aspire during the verses, where jangly guitar strums emanate with patient precision. A title-touting fervency unleashes thereafter, compelling in its pleading, grunge-friendly ardency. A Neil Young-esque, heartfelt twanginess also appeals during the “leave me in the morning,” bridge. “Hit My Line” certainly has us anticipating Shields’ upcoming EP.
