Each song is peppered with upbeat piano, horn, and string-laced melodies, though, despite their surface cheer and crisp &#8220;ba-ba-ba&#8221;s, tend to waver between anxiety and melancholic optimism\u2014and then back to uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>Given everything that has changed in Dragonetti&#8217;s life since he last released a pop album, it&#8217;s understandable if Dragonetti would want to start fresh. But by returning to his former self, Dragonetti has a chance to find closure with <em>2018<\/em>, which explores past relationships and celebrates new ones.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;This is where I am right now and it&#8217;s something I needed to do on my own. Which is sort of where I started in the first place. I think, ultimately, this is a hopeful record about moving forward. We go through these milestone relationships, new loves and experiences, growing older. It&#8217;s a lot, but we get through it. It&#8217;s not so much a break-up record as it is a post-break up record.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net\/20180808\/83\/d2\/3d\/fa\/05c0e9792503841cc309f2c6_560x560.jpg?resize=509%2C509\" alt=\"Jack Drag 2018 cover\" width=\"509\" height=\"509\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p>For more information on Jack Drag, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/click\/7bdbt\/z1r5vo\/fuwwnf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">johndragonetti.com.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Songwriter\/producer\/composer John Dragonetti (The Submarines) will release his first new album under his Jack Drag moniker, appropriately entitled &#8216;2018&#8217;, September 14 via Burger Records.&nbsp;He&#8217;s shared <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=29479\" title=\"Jack Drag shares new single &#8216;Hope Revisited&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29480,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[22,23,28,30],"tags":[6597,7604,7605,7606,7607],"class_list":["post-29479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-music","category-new-release","tag-6597","tag-hope-revisited","tag-jack-drag","tag-john-dragonetti","tag-the-submarines"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/653ddeaf85b303a18409c9ee_710x880-e1571166344434.jpg?fit=710%2C558","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-7Ft","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":14035,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=14035","url_meta":{"origin":29479,"position":0},"title":"Andy Warhol: Revisited &#8211; A pop of pop-art in Toronto","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"July 1, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"Andy Warhol Revisited\u00a0opens in Toronto today and gives you the\u00a0opportunity to view one of the world\u2019s largest collections of original Warhol prints and paintings.\u00a0Located in a 4,200 square foot pop-up gallery space at\u00a077\u00a0Bloor Street West (it used to be the Guess storefront in Yorkville).
