Jake Bugg (born 1994) is an English singer-songwriter from Nottingham who debuted with his self-titled album in 2012.

Reviews note Shangri La was produced with Rick Rubin at the Shangri-La studios in Malibu. Hearts That Strain was recorded in Nashville with contributors including Dan Auerbach and features a duet with Noah Cyrus ('Waiting'). Critics cite British blues-folk roots and American singer-songwriter influences; reviewers describe varied styles across albums and a return-to-roots approach on Hearts That Strain.

Reviews on DeBaser praise Jake Bugg's musicianship, diverse influences and production values. Shangri La (Rubin-produced) shows adventurous referencing of American singer-songwriter styles. Hearts That Strain marks a return to acoustic roots and Nashville collaborators, viewed as focused but not a masterpiece. Lyrics are often described as light; overall potential and talent are repeatedly noted.

For:Fans of singer-songwriter, folk and indie rock; listeners who like roots-influenced British and American singer-songwriter music.

 Assuming it's all his own doing, it can certainly be said that despite his tender age, he has listened to a lot of music.

 This album is not a masterpiece, there is no hit inside, yet it is a work that is definitely more focused and coherent from start to finish compared to its predecessor
