Rob Mayes And Brittany Bristow Sing Songs Written For UPtv Movie

Just Jake is more than a romantic movie. This UPtv movie has some original songs. However, Rob Mayes revealed that it was a lot of pressure to write a love song. But, he had some great country music talent to work with. That includes Heath Warren, Will Weatherly, and Eric Van Houghton. They were all there to write music for Mayes and even Brittany Bristow to perform.

The process was unique to Mayes, who normally works alone. The writers split up. Each team came up with an idea and then they “married the two” to create the main song “Without You.”

As for Brittany, Mayes admitted that she was a bit nervous to go into the studio to work on their duet. Although Brittany is known for her many romcom roles, and even accents, singing is another thing altogether.

When she started singing, he was impressed. However, she was nervous that it wasn’t good enough and asked if it was “okay.” Everyone in the studio was awestruck. Mayes recalls, “It was magic.”

Most of all, Mayes reveals this is a movie about “keeping the faith.” He continued, “Be it faith in yourself, in what you’re doing, in a higher power, or whatever it is for you.” He continues that you need “something to believe in that’s bigger than us. Or our purpose, and why we’re here doing this stuff.”

Don’t miss the premiere of this uplifting new movie, Just Jake, on Sunday, May 21, at 7 p.m., Eastern, on UPtv.
