One of our favorite discoveries of 2014 was Tobias Jesso, Jr. and his skillful piano-based balladry, but especially his song Hollywood.  This week Jesso released the song How Could You Babe (is he lamenting or trying to woo the other question-mark-in-titles averse artist, Sharon Van Etten?) and official video.  Check out the video for How Could You Babe below, set in swimming pools, at the beach, etc.  We love the vocal reach at 3:37.  Feelin’ it.  Jesso’s debut album, Goon will be released on March 17th.  Jesso will also head out in March on a North American mini-tour, including stops at the Echo in LA and Brick+Mortar in San Francisco in early April. Check out those dates at bottom.
