Victoria, BC-based artist Jesse Roper returns with his electrifying new single, “Danger,” an anthemic rock track that captures the thrill of attraction and the allure of the unattainable. Set against the stunning backdrop of Hanalei Bay in Kaua’i, Hawaii, the song radiates a coastal summer energy, painting the perfect scene for a carefree vacation romance. With infectious melodies and dynamic production, “Danger” is an exhilarating and introspective anthem that blends upbeat rock with a sense of excitement and caution.
Written during a time of personal turmoil, Roper channeled his emotions into a cinematic imaginary world where the “it” girl is in pursuit, offering the kind of attention he was craving.
Produced by JUNO-nominated Gus van Go and recorded at Boiler Room Studios in Toronto, “Danger” delivers a track that’s as thrilling as it is reflective, weaving catchy hooks with a rock edge.
Jesse Roper is a blues/Americana artist known for his virtuosic guitar playing and bombastic live performances. His innate talent has led him to collaborate with soul icon Booker T. Jones, rock veteran Colin James, blues belter Beth Hart, and Canadian legend Burton Cummings. After overcoming stage fright in his early twenties, Roper has become a force to be reckoned with on stage, bringing a raw energy to every performance.
Roper‘s last album, Horizons, marked a sonic high point in his career. Working with Gus van Go (Metric, Arkells, The Trews) pushed Roper to create some of his best work to date. His latest releases continue this momentum with energetic, soulful, and R&B-inspired tracks, blending influences from JJ Cale, Leon Bridges, and The Teskey Brothers while maintaining his unique sound.
