Jenny On Holiday releases euphoric new single!

Last week, alt-pop visionary Jenny On Holiday released her euphoric new single “Good Intentions” via Transgressive Records, from her upcoming debut solo album ‘Quicksand Heart’ due on 9th January 2026. Known to many as one half of the critically acclaimed duo Let’s Eat Grandma, Jenny Hollingworth now reintroduces herself with a voice that is both familiar and strikingly new. The result is music that feels both intimate and expansive, rooted in a new found joy in the lightness of being. Jenny is curious and in love with life again.

After the launch of her debut solo single “Every Ounce Of Me” in September and the ‘Quicksand Heart’ album announcement last month, Jenny Hollingworth ushers in a powerful new chapter of her artistry, propelled by a new sense of clarity’. A striking image, a “quicksand heart” is a whorling vortex of feeling, a pulsating pit of emotion; it’s how Jenny On Holiday describes how she gives and receives love. “Good Intentions” explores her desire to let go of the past, and live life in the moment.

“I wrote Good Intentions as a reflection on challenges I’ve faced in the past and how I relate to them in the present. It’s about striving to live and love fully despite life’s uncertainties.“ - Jenny On Holiday

With storytelling that is both cinematic and dramatic, Jenny often writes songs to films and videos, like the Nana anime. “Good Intentions” was written to scenes from Singin’ in the Rain, and feels like the soundtrack to a classic coming-of-age film, driven by her crystalline vocals, vivid storytelling and soaring melodies. The “Good Intentions” music video, filmed and directed by ALFRED, is a sunset-soaked, technicolour dream that captures Jenny’s joy.

Written in the stillness of Norwich summers and finished in London with producer Steph Marziano (Hayley Williams, Nell Mescal), Quicksand Heart 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. “Dolphins” is the next glimpse of a record that is driving and immediate, to be sung to friends in the festival pit or hummed alone on the night bus.
