Jenny Kern is a Canadian singer-songwriter currently based in New York.
Her single 'Slow Burn' is a haunting track with candid lyrics and calming vocals that convey a sense of longing.
"I think I lost my way
Broken in flames
And the ashes they don't come back
The ashes they don't come back"
'Slow Burn' opens with beautiful warm tones and soft guitar melodies, with an echoing snare in the background adding space to the instrumentals. The track is inviting with Kern's calming vocals creating a rich tone that enhances the overall atmosphere of the song. The balance between the guitar and soft synths brings a nostalgic but cathartic feeling. When you listen to the track, you notice that the lyrics are honest but relatable, and the title 'Slow Burn' reflects how the song slowly unravels itself.
Kern's vocals and musical style remind me of early Sarah McLachlan, her voice is magnetic and draws you in. Overall, I really enjoyed this song and Kern's talent to translate her honest thoughts and feelings into melody.
If you like this song then I would highly recommend checking out her other songs including 'Carousel'!
