We’ve seen JMSN transition into a full-on soul musician over the last couple years, and his newest single “Drinkin'” is a synthesis of that idea.

Belting about a failing relationship and a search for happiness through the bottle and accepting himself, JMSN sounds right at coming to terms with the idea a drunk is what he is and you can’t tell him otherwise. “I stopped trying to please anybody. Please yourself,” he closes the song. “Whatever makes you happy, do that shit, and if it’s drinking, go and do it all the time.”

“Drinkin'” is the first single off JMSN’s upcoming album Whatever Makes U Happy, due out April 24. Pre-order the album on iTunes and listen to the single below.
