Singer, songwriter BabyJake recruits 24kGoldn for a remix of his breakout hit “Cigarettes On Patios”—listen BELOW!

Originally released in 2019, “Cigarettes On Patios” instantly became a fan favorite. The viral hit peaked at #1 on Spotify’s Viral Chart and has amassed over 42 million Spotify streams to date. The song was recently re-added to Spotify’s Pop Rising playlist, as well as other notable Spotify playlists like Beast Mode and Anti Pop, and continues to gain traction on TikTok.

Of the remix, BabyJake says, “‘Cigs’ has always been a great record and done amazing, but I never expected it to take off an entire year after release. When it started to grow (again) over the summer, my team and I began brainstorming who could be the perfect fit for a remix. Me and my manager are fans of 24kGoldn, so we reached out, and he killed it. I’m excited to have him on, and more excited for the world to hear it.”

“Cigarettes On Patios” (24kGoldn Remix) follows BabyJake’s debut EP Don’t give me problems, give me wine released this summer. The seven-song genre-blurring EP features his latest single “Head In The Clouds” and was praised by Wonderland Magazine, Notion, The Line Of Best Fit, Flaunt Magazine, Ones To Watch, This Song Is Sick, Lyrical Lemonade and more.

Earlier this year, BabyJake teamed up with Dillon Francis on his tracks, “You Do You” and “Touch,” which Billboard Dance praised, saying, “Florida vocalist BabyJake delivers the track's smooth-as-silk vocals over Francis' slinky production.” The singer, songwriter capped off 2019 with over 25 million streams across his first three singles and live performances of “Blue Cellophane” and “239” for Vevo DSCVR’s ‘Artist to Watch’ 2020 campaign, which he was 1 of 20 emerging artists selected.

Stay tuned for more to come from BabyJake this fall!

About

Jake Herring, the artist who records as BabyJake, has a complicated relationship with music. Growing up in Fort Meyers, Florida, Herring first picked up the guitar when he was eight years old. By the time he was in high school, he was juggling a deep, somewhat private love of music with genuine enthusiasm for sports and partying with his friends. He didn’t feel like he fit in in any specific social group, and soon felt alienated. For solace, Herring turned to his dad’s folk records, favoring the low-key contemplative sounds that resonated with the sense of alienation that he was feeling. Though he maybe wasn’t conscious of it at the time, Herring was priming himself to be a sort of musical chameleon.

Well versed in the building blocks of rock music, the intimacy of folk, and with an innate understanding of the rap and pop music he grew up around, he was constructing a well of disparate influences to draw from when he eventually made a serious go at a music career. After his freshman year of college, Herring dropped out and started writing songs as often as he could, debuting as BabyJake in 2019 with his viral single “Cigarettes on Patios,” which has accumulated over 35 million streams to date. Before too long, he had his first official body of work, which quickly evolved into a multifaceted career that currently involves a record label called daycare with an added merch/streetwear line and a budding career penning and producing songs with other artists.

His seven-song debut EP, Don’t give me problems, give me wine, feels like the result of an artist older than his years, someone who has lived recklessly and loved hard and is ready to put it all on record.
