Jenny Kern - 'Satellite'
Canadian-born, New York-based singer-songwriter Jenny Kern champions accountability and shows off a fresh indie pop direction on current single, ‘Satellite’.
‘Satellite’ flickers and buzzes to life as cosmic electronic textures contrast organic tones, setting a creative and imaginative introduction to the song. Jenny Kern’s vocal comes in on the introspective first line, “I’m out of body out of mind floating like a satellite” instantly sending her listener into orbit around her captivating vocal and wonderful storytelling.
Produced by Andy Seltzer (Maggie Rogers, Chelsea Culter), ‘Satellite’ is an airy and bouncy tune that retains the brooding intimacy and contemplative edge which is a staple of Kern’s sound. However, there’s a clear progression away from her previous indie rock/ folk infused roots as ‘Satellite’ drives into more polished, upbeat electro pop territory seeing ‘Satellite’ demonstrate how to put a danceable, feel-good twist on melancholia and mistakes without losing its hefty emotional kick and raw edge.
