Following the release of his first single, “Bottom of a Bottle,” blues-soul artist Jovin Webb returns with a deeply reflective and powerful second single, “Save Me,” from his upcoming debut album Drifter, out October 18th via Blind Pig Records. Released today on all streaming platforms, “Save Me” is a slow-burning Southern rock track that tackles the hard truths of Webb’s personal experiences with social injustice and self-reflection. The single is accompanied by a moving new music video featuring intimate footage of Webb in his hometown of Baton Rouge. “Save Me” is a gritty, introspective song that gradually builds to a resounding, emotional chorus. Against a backdrop of Webb’s unmistakable gravelly voice, the lyrics confront themes of racism, identity, and personal growth. “I saw a lot of racism when I was a kid. There were still cross burnings where I grew up, but my parents always taught me not to judge a person based on their skin,” Webb shares. His lyrics paint a vivid picture: She was day and I was night/We’d go out people stared/It hurt us both it wasn’t fair/I may never understand/But I won’t be an angry man. Reflecting on the lessons he learned growing up, Webb says, “Daddy told me not to be anyone other than who you are. Mamma said, ‘Be a good man, fly straight, and you’ll go far.’” The music video for “Save Me” captures raw, emotional glimpses of Webb’s life in Baton Rouge, offering fans a window into the environment that shaped his voice and perspective. The slow tempo and stirring visuals build to a powerful conclusion, reflecting both the introspective tone of the song and Webb’s undeniable resilience. |
