WHAT IT IS: Jake Wesley Rogers begins the next chapter of his career by showcasing striking compositions distinguished by his soulful melodies and crafty lyricism. Born in Springfield, Mo., the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist appeared on season seven of America’s Got Talent before independently releasing a series of EPs and inking with Warner Records via Justin Tranter’s imprint, Facet Records, in 2021. Wrestling with a torrent of coming-of-age questions and inspired by his idols,Madonna, Stevie Nicks and Florence + the Machine, Rogers displays his most authentic self on his major-label debut, Pluto. This deeply personal six-song EP intriguingly intimates what’s yet to come from this rising star.
