Carl Wastie talks to Jeremy Loops about life, new music, and upcoming events.
Listen below.
Jeremy Loops drops a new album at the end of January 2025, releasing new songs between now and then, with some already available to stream on Spotify and iTunes.
Loops is most proud of 'Loveblood'.
He explained that it had been in the making since 2020 and was supposed to be added to his previous album.
The song 'feels like home' to Loops, because he managed to finish it and his mate who had written 'Loveblood' with him passed away.
"I spent hundreds of hours crafting it and then finding ways to harmonise the sound." To help him, Loops roped in German musicians 'Amistat Music'.
Loops says the final product was 'written in my home studio and crafted with my whole heart'.
"I recorded 'Loveblood' just after lockdown happened... I started writing it back in 2020 with my mate Fabian during lockdown, took it across three studios around the world, and there were moments I didn’t think I’d ever finish it — especially after Fab passed. But the love for this track kept pulling me back."

'Loveblood' was recorded with live instruments and an acoustic element, 'the most real thing I could make'.
"Everything is also recorded with live instruments and I wanted to honour having everything acoustic... I think that element of having it really raw now in a world where AI can do anything and people don't know what's real anymore... Loveblood is the most real thing I could make."

"It doesn't feel like a new song. It sounds like home."
