Jenny Lewis has announced her fifth studio album.
The follow-up to 2019's 'On The Line' is called 'Joy'All' and will arrive on June 9, marking her first full-length for Blue Note / EMI Records.
Recorded at Nashville's historic RCA Studio A, with Dave Cobb producing, the record opens with the newly shared Psychos, a breezy acoustic track with a catchy chorus and pedal steel.
It serves as the Nashville singer-songwriter's first new music since her November 2021 single, Puppy And A Truck, which is set to appear on the upcoming record. Earlier in March, Lewis unveiled the song's long-awaited video, featuring a cameo from Harry Styles. Commenting on the LP, Lewis said:
"I started writing some of these songs on the road, pre-pandemic... and then put them aside as the world shut down, 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.’ The first song I submitted to the group was Puppy And A Truck."
She continued: "Dave works fast and we cut the bulk of the record with his incredible house band (Nate Smith, Brian Allen and Cobb on guitar, and myself on acoustic guitar and vocals) live on the floor in a couple of weeks. Jess Wolfe came back to the studio to provide background vocals on the record and then Greg Leisz and Jon Brion added pedal steel, B-Bender guitar and Chamberlin, respectively, back in LA."
Lewis has a busy summer schedule ahead, including dates supporting the Postal Service and Death Cab For Cutie on their co-headline tour, as well as shows with Beck and Phoenix on their co-headline SummerOdyssey Tour.
