Jenny On Holiday debut solo single, “Every Ounce Of Me,” out now on Transgressive Records

Jenny On Holiday opens a new chapter today with her debut solo single, “Every Ounce Of Me,” out now on Transgressive Records. Known to many as one half of the critically acclaimed alt-pop duo Let’s Eat Grandma, Jenny Hollingworth now reintroduces herself with a voice that is both familiar and strikingly new. Where her band’s music leaned into surrealist, shape-shifting pop, Jenny’s solo work captures her new-found effervescence for life. “Every Ounce Of Me” is a heartfelt exploration of joy after loss, driven by the crystalline clarity of her impassioned vocals.

“‘Every Ounce of Me’ was inspired by singing dramatic, fun, 80s love songs at karaoke with my friends. I wanted to write something of my own I could imagine in that setting. It’s a song about not being able to help falling for someone despite your reservations about love and trying your hardest not to” says Jenny.

Written in the stillness of Norwich summers and finished in London with producer Steph Marziano (Hayley Williams, Nell Mescal), “Every Ounce Of Me” introduces Jenny’s cinematic solo sound — grounded in plain-spoken storytelling yet expansive in its pop imagination. Inspired by the likes of Prefab Sprout to The Beach Boys, Kate Bush, The Replacements, Cyndi Lauper and Tina Turner – Jenny has an otherworldly presence that finds expressive vocal shades recalling Elizabeth Fraser. “My voice is the instrument I enjoy expressing myself most on” she says.

Jenny Hollingworth and Rosa Walton signed to Transgressive Records at age 16 and released their juggernaut debut I, Gemini in 2016, a strange strain of melodic electronic, freaky folk pop. 2018’s critically acclaimed I’m All Ears expanded into fantastical new sonic territories, anchored by sweet yet acerbic vocals, uncanny lyrics, and the late SOPHIE’s mutant productions: “Hot Pink” was its anthem, sweeping through AOTY lists. 2022 brought them back to band mode with the powerful Two Ribbons — it starkly captured personal experience of grief and the changing shape of their friendship, as they grew into womanhood. The image no longer of twins, but of two unfurling fabrics, was pertinent, and the two have since focused on nurturing their friendship, alongside pursuing their shared desire to explore themselves as solo artists.

After a period of reflection and growth, Jenny On Holiday emerges with a sound that is entirely her own. “Every Ounce Of Me” is built for both festival stages and late-night journeys home — the first glimpse of Hollingworth’s assured solo voice, and the beginning of a chapter defined by clarity and confidence.
