Johanna Linnea Jakobsson’s 2025 release Don’t Overthink It on Zack’s Music presents eight tracks of vocal jazz that resist easy categorization. Recorded with an intimate ensemble, Jakobsson’s voice moves through compositions titled Grow, Time, and The Net with a quietly assured phrasing, steering clear of affectation. The featured track Better Off showcases her measured delivery against a restrained instrumental backdrop, allowing subtle shifts in harmony and tempo to surface.Though modestly circulated with 4,380 Last.fm scrobbles, the album’s pared-down arrangements and lyrical economy reward close attention. Jakobsson’s approach here eschews embellishment, offering instead a clear signal of jazz’s ongoing capacity for understated expression. Don’t Overthink It is a neat artifact for those who prize vocal nuance framed by sparing instrumentation.
