Gone Wylde.

Jacob Wylde is an aspiring young musician who I recently discovered on Triple J's Unearthed site; you never know what you will come across on Unearthed, and that's why the site is so amazing.

Jacob is only 14 years old, and originates from Perth. Last year, Jacob won the Western Australian Music Industry Association (WAM) song of the year for the under 14's category, and his prize was a day in a recording studio.

His song 'My Soul' is currently #3 on the Unearthed Roots charts, and has even been reviewed by Triple J's 'Roots 'N All' presenter, Sarah Howells.

The song starts with the acoustic guitar, and when Jacob's vocals come in, they are easily recognised as vocal cords of a teenager that have recently 'broken'. However it adds to the vulnerable quality and theme of the song. The percussion is simple; mainly handclaps, bass drum and tambourine; but the overall tone is effective.

Check out the studio version of 'My Soul' below:
