A Heartwarming Reimagination of a Classic, Bridging Italy and America’s Musical Landscapes
—
Italy-based artist Jack Marton is back after a few years of quiet in the streaming scene. Indeed, waiting for the right time has never been truer, as his new cover track “Raindrops on the Kitchen Floor” is worth the wait. Now out worldwide, this under 4-minute track is poised to captivate listeners with its warm, acoustic charm and collaborative spirit. The song, a reimagining of American folk-pop singer-songwriter Mason Jennings’ original, showcases Marton’s ability to breathe new life into beloved melodies while staying true to his authentic, easy-listening style.
Jack Marton, a solo acoustic guitarist and singer-songwriter, was born in Venice, Italy. Thanks to his parents’ profession, he grew up traveling across Europe, which significantly influenced his musical journey. Attending a Catholic school with American teachers, Marton was exposed to traditional Americana music early on. His unique musical style, refined over the years, includes folk and neo-mellow influences. In 2016, his talent was discovered by LA-based producer Marino De Angeli. The collaboration led to the release of his self-titled EP in 2018, which received positive reviews from both the public and critics.
“Raindrops on the Kitchen Floor,” originally part of Mason Jennings’ 2011 Minnesota album, has been given a fresh, vibrant arrangement by Marton. The collaboration with Jennings himself and percussionist Adam Topol, who has been Jack Johnson’s drummer, has resulted in a track that offers a happier, more rhythmic vibe compared to the original. The rhythmical section created by Topol, reminiscent of his work with artists from Brushfire Records like Matt Costa, Zach Gill, and Donavon Frankenreiter, brings a natural, dry sound that complements the song’s joyful essence. Through his collaborations with Mason Jennings and Adam Topol, Marton’s connection to notable artists such as Jack Johnson has only strengthened his artistic repertoire.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of simple, everyday moments transformed by love. Lines like “Raindrops on the kitchen floor / And the curtain is blowing where the windows open” evoke a sense of domestic tranquility and intimacy. The song’s message of finding perfection and hope in a chaotic world resonates deeply, especially in these challenging times. Marton’s interpretation, indeed, adds a layer of warmth and optimism to Jennings’ already poignant lyrics.
Produced by Marino De Angeli and recorded across studios in Venice, Southern California, and Seattle, “Raindrops on the Kitchen Floor” showcases the best of transatlantic collaboration. The production quality is neat and clean, balancing the raw authenticity of acoustic instruments with a polished, professional sound that enhances the song’s emotional impact without overshadowing its simplicity.
Listeners are invited to stream “Raindrops on the Kitchen Floor” on all major platforms to experience the heartfelt collaboration firsthand. In addition to this release, Jack Marton has also recorded a new original track titled “I Saw You Dancing,” set to release on September 2, 2024. This track, featuring Adam Topol on percussion, promises to continue Marton’s tradition of crafting serene love songs with full acoustic arrangements.
