Canadian Singer & Songwriter Jennah Barry Returns with New Single "Roller Disco"!

Unveiling her first taste of new music in more than six years, Canadian singer & songwriter Jennah Barry returns with Roller Disco! Stream the highly anticipated track right now via Everything Is Noise

Everything Is Noise notes: "“Roller Disco” is a breezy yet triumphant piece of music which immediately conjures up the finest nuances of laid-back country music. As one would expect, Barry’s voice is stunning. But one must also marvel at the music’s ability to operate with equal smoothness, from the dainty acoustic guitar to the soft strings and the dreamy xylophones. The song evokes feelings of optimism and intensity in perfectly balanced proportions. Do not miss this!"

Immersed in a gentle haze, Roller Disco spins like the intrinsic soundtrack to a sentimental memory. Finding its musical footing somewhere along the paths carved out by Harry Nilsson, Burt Bacharach, and Emmylou Harris, the song sways with a softly strummed nylon guitar guided by perfect restraint. Be it a brief and breathy flute run, the soft touch of a mallet, or an old familiar slide, Roller Disco is orchestrated with perfect, stirring delicacy. All the while, Barry's signature "sweet and addictive" vocals dispatch lyrics ingrained with salt water wisdom and stirring storytelling.

Produced by Colin Nealis (Andy Shauf, Aidan Knight), the single is the precursor to Jennah Barry's long-awaited sophomore album due out next year.

Roller Disco is available as a digital single this Friday, November 23 via Forward Music Group and at Bandcam

ABOUT JENNAH BARRY

Hailing from the coastal haven of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Jennah Barry is one of Atlantic Canada's surest sirens. She has a knack for crafting true-to-life vignettes with a twist of honesty that smarts; a kind of earnestness that sharps and soothes. Moving effortlessly between folk, country and soft rock motifs, Barry’s undeniable, rosewater voice allows her to skirt the surface tensions of genre tropes and head straight for the heart.

Her debut album, Young Men, was deemed "sweet and addictive" (Chronicle Herald) with "depth revealed in small but effective and lasting moments" (Direct Current), while her voice was described as "warm and inviting" (Exclaim!) and "as sweet as honey" (The Coast).

Her new work holds that familiar sway while slipping off into new pop-tangled eternities (think Emmylou with a Bacharach backbone). Beyond her uncanny ability to write the world and sing it so assuredly to life, Barry is also careful to surround herself with a stable of collaborators who are consistently elevating her work to its instantly classic status. Her music is home to many truths and Barry sets a mood to make even the hardest of them feel palatable.
