Jennah Barry Releases “Rocket” Single, Holiday Due March 27
Quote from Jennah: “Rocket is about acting on impulse and saying things you can’t take back.”
“Rocket” comes from the gorgeous Jennah Barry LP Holiday, coming March 2020 on Forward Music Group. Majorly recommended for fans of Andy Shauf, whose bandmate Colin Nealis produced the LP, the songs here are built to last, with echoes of those soft-rock classics often referred to as “AM gold.” Barry’s vocals are warm and weave through the arrangements with so much skill. The arrangements are full and pillowy but always pull up short of being cloying or overdone, more-so than the source material she’s referncing. This record is like catnip for me, honestly, just a true pleasure to listen to.

I hope you’ll find as much solace within it by listening to it, as I did making it.” – LUNA
