Jake Shears Jake Shears

Jake Shears, lead vocalist and a primary songwriter for the New York band Scissor Sisters is stepping out on his own, for the first time. "Creep City" is the first song taken from his self-titled debut solo album. He is the talk of the town at the moment, playing the lead in the Broadway production of Kinky Boots, as well as just releasing a tell-all memoir about his life as a musician so far, 'Boys Keep Swinging'. The album isn’t a big departure from the Sisters sound we’re familiar with, but adds a swampy, Southern feel -- likely inspired by his move to New Orleans in 2015.
