Jennie Lena Released New EP

Singer Songwriter Jennie Lena released her new EP “Acoustic Sessions” yesterday. 4 Soulful, personal songs, of which a few are written and recorded in New York, where she toured last November with 10 shows. 

About Acoustic Sessions

“The songs on this EP are closer to myself than ever: “Heaven Wins Again” is a loving homage to my father who passed away last year. ‘Let Yourself Be Beautiful’ is about the influence that dayly life and the news has on us. Everything that happens around us influences us directly as human beings, and sometimes we tend to harden by everything we see and experience. This song is about letting your heart be and stay open and grand, despite everything you go through.”

The surprising song ’Place in the Sun’ is a duet with L.A.-based bassist/singer Casey Abrams and is a one-take live recording. They met each other earlier this year in the US during the recording of her album, which will be released later this year. Another remarkable track new record is Jennie’s interpretation of Queen: “Love of My Life”. She sang it in a live broadcast of the popular Dutch TV show RTL Late Night last summer. The responses were incredible, and RTL Late Night host Humberto Tan asked her to record it as a single.

Music has always played an important part in Jennie Lena’s life. She grew up in a musical family where everybody played an instrument. Each room of the house was continuously filled with music of every imaginable style. “Music has always lived in my body and soul. For me it’s the most logical way to express myself,” Lena said.
