Jenn Grant will release her new album Love, Inevitable on May 31, she shares the new single, the dreamy "Keep A Light On".
Speaking on "Keep the Light On", Jenn notes, "I was excited to work with (director) Samantha Scaffidi because she creates these beautiful little films. We talked about where our work comes from, and this idea of 'the special nowhere.' There is a place where songs and stories come from and you're not quite sure where or why but they find themselves through you and become your story to tell." The video premiered via PopMatters who call the track an "aural equivalent of a warm embrace."
Love, Inevitable is the follow up to 2016's Paradise, around which Consequence of Sound called out Grant's "majestic vocals" and Stereogum noted she created "something that's both a bit familiar and a little otherworldly."
This magical quality of the Halifax folk-pop singer's songwriting and performance continues all around Love, Inevitable. Yet the upcoming album marks a period of change in Grant's life. After making 4 consecutive albums with her husband, Daniel Ledwell (and being nominated for a Juno three-times), Grant teamed with Grammy nominated American producer and engineer, Tucker Martine to record the new LP. Further, Grant went through a period of massive personal change -- she discovered she was pregnant during the recording process
What makes Love, Inevitable compelling is its ease, despite the struggle and personal heartache that went into the writing of these songs. The record's title comes from a moment when Grant heard Martine's wife, Laura Veirs, singing the Daniel Johnston song, True Love Will Find You in the End. She found symmetry here, remembering how her husband used to sing her that song as well. The song reminds Grant of her own trek back to both herself and to finding her own family.
