Trevor Jackson Opens a New Musical Chapter with Single ‘Friend of a Friend’

Trevor Jackson is stepping back into the spotlight with his latest release, “Friend of a Friend.”  The track offers a glimpse into what he describes as his most revealing and emotionally honest project yet.

“Friend of a Friend” explores the emotional complexities that often linger at the end of a failed relationship. With lines like, “She ain’t nothing but a friend of a friend of a friend / We go through this again and again and again,” he captures the notions of mistrust and the emotional fatigue it brings. This track is a powerful introduction to his upcoming project, showcasing Trevor’s mature sound and introspective writing.

This song, as well as others that are soon to be released, was created during a deeply personal time in Trevor’s life, during the aftermath of a six-year relationship and while recovering from a torn Achilles. The music not only reflects themes of heartbreak and vulnerability but also touches on masculinity and the journey of emotional growth. It continues the narrative he began with his previous album, It’s Complicated, which was praised for its nuanced take on modern love and diverse sound.

Beyond music, Trevor remains a commanding presence on screen. With standout performances in Grown-ish, Superfly, and currently Grey’s Anatomy, where he joined the cast in Season 21 and will return in Season 22, his creative footprint spans multiple lanes. As both a storyteller and performer, he continues to build a legacy rooted in authenticity.

With “Friend of a Friend,” Trevor is setting the tone for what promises to be his most personal and impactful work yet. The Knockturnal spoke with Trevor about his upcoming project, as well as what he hopes fans will take away from it.
