Music

Parker Ainsworth takes a Petty-style drum groove and infuses some deep vocals, an in-crowd vibe, and a monastic harmony.

This song is a simple, infectious melody, delivered with impeccably groomed vocals, and a smooth late-night catharsis.

The entire emotional journey rests on that vocal performance, the immediacy of the lyricism, and the blues-style breaks.

The video doubles as both a traveling visual narrative and a metaphor for the course of a lifetime: challenge after challenge, with rotating color schemes.

Its a soul-pop summer hit with the classic trappings of a roots track: clean pentatonic riffs on the guitar, big harmonies, and a singalong chorus.

The power of the language and the affect here are immediately striking: the production from Adam Landry is exquisite and the lyrical theme feels raw and pained.

With a Hendrix-style alpha mojo, like she chops mountains with her hand, JEEN both oversimplifies and makes herself the centerpiece, which is the magic of personal storytelling.

It is slightly robotic and mysterious music, peppered with swells and the sound of brainwaves made real.
