Three years on since the release of her acclaimed album On The Line (2019), Jenny Lewis has revealed that her fifth solo studio album entitled Joy’All will arrive June 9th. Her first LP recorded for Blue Note/Capitol Records is preceded by the new single “Psychos,” which finds the Rilo Kiley co-founder confiding, “I’m not a psycho / I’m just trying to get laid / I’m a rock n roll disciple / In a video game.”
“I started writing some of these songs on the road, pre-pandemic…and then put them aside as the world shut down,” Lewis explains in an official statement. “And then from my home in Nashville in early 2021, I joined a week-long virtual songwriting workshop with a handful of amazing artists, hosted by Beck. The challenge was to write one song every day for seven days, with guidelines from Beck. The guidelines would be prompts like ‘write a song with 1-4-5 chord progression,’ ‘write a song with only cliches,’ or ‘write in free form style.’”
As a complement to the album’s forthcoming release, Lewis will hit the road for a US tour that commences June 2nd in Nashville.
