Today, visionary pop artist Jake Wesley Rogers debuts the cathartic anthem “Hot Gospel” — listen HERE via Facet Records / Warner Records and watch the “Live From a Lodge” performance HERE. The hopeful track hails from the Missouri-born powerhouse’s debut full-length album, In the Key of Love, arriving May 9. Pre-order / save HERE.
“Hot Gospel” is a soaring pop song that offers up a little visceral release. Amid the driving drums, pounding piano, and swaying backup vocals, Jake urges anyone going through a tough time to throw up their hands, lift up their feet, and get carried away by whatever spirit moves them: “Do the hot gospel / Do the bad believer / Do the broken healer / Do the saint, do the spell / Do the heaven, do the hell / Baby, do the hot gospel / … / Do the H-O-T G-O-S-P-E-L!”
The striking song is the third riveting glimpse of In the Key of Love following the soulful, celebratory, and subversive “God Bless” and the sparkling glam-rock triumph “Loser.”
Jake will be taking his captivating live show to stages across North America, supporting Cyndi Lauper on her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour this summer, including a two-night finale at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. See the full list of dates below and purchase tickets HERE.
Discovered by hit songwriter Justin Tranter in 2020, Jake began his path to stardom the following year when Apple Music’s Zane Lowe premiered “Middle of Love” and called him “wildly talented.” That opinion was soon shared by countless tastemakers including People, Billboard, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, PAPER, and Vogue. He then made a whole new army of fans with: the release of 2021’s Pluto EP, a run of North American tour dates supporting Panic! at the Disco, and unforgettable performances on Good Morning America, The Late Late Show with James Corden, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Late Night with Seth Meyers.
In 2022, Rogers shared his Love EP, which included numerous standout tracks such as “Lavender Forever,” “Hindsight,” and “Dark Bird.” In 2023, he hit the road to support Kesha on her Noth American tour, releasing the healing anthem “Window” around that time. Now, with an entire album’s worth of new music on the horizon, Rogers returns to his mission of sharing a message of love, defiance, and — most importantly — hope.
