“I love sitting in a living room with friends and listening to a good jam on vinyl. The sound quality is more rich (cheesy, I know). I also love perusing antique shop collections. That being said, I’m planning on pressing my upcoming album on vinyl (hopefully get it in stock in all the stores throughout Ontario).”
—Jennifer Budd
Helping to fill the void left by more than four years without a new Adele album, here’s the debut of another big voiced soul-pop singer tinged with a similar kind of bluesy regret and ennui.
Jennifer Budd, who hails from the wintery climes of Hamilton, Ontario and went to college in Nashville, adds a little jazz shadings to her track “Don’t Even,” which we are delighted to be premiering. Styled for this video to within an inch of Colbie Caillat, Budd sits idly by as a couple breaks things up backwards.
“The video represents a disconnect within a relationship, an unfolding and refolding of events,” Budd says in a statement. “Pieces brake and get put back together just to fall apart again.” Which looks like a typo, but she could mean the pieces were putting on the brakes just as the couple was. At any rate, take a look.
Budd’s Lip Service LP is due out in November ( — oops, same month as Adele’s next one).
