Big announcement day in the world of Jessica Breanne as we have three substantial announcements to share.
First up, new music! “Winning Hand” is the second single from the forthcoming Electric Heart album and the first track on the album. It’s also available everywhere today.
It’s a song about about the power of connection with an accompanying music video filmed inside Nashville’s 100-year old iconic art house movie theater, the Belcourt. Directed by Jessica herself and collaborator Kevin Doyle.
Of the song, Jessica says:
“I was in a dark place without a lot of hope. I started writing letters to a person in my life I really admire and am inspired by. Letters I would never send. These letters were a confession to myself and the universe which led me to getting very honest about the circumstances I found myself in. I kept thinking, ‘What if we’d met earlier in life? Or maybe we can meet in another life and give it a try?’
The song was born from there and helped me make some necessary decisions to shake things up in my life.
You really never know what a kind gesture can do for another person. You may never know the impact but there’s always a possibility it can give someone hope.
That’s worth it right there.”
Filmed inside the historic Belcourt theater here in Nashville, TN – the video finds Jessica connecting with the myriad of songwriters and performers that have come before here on that same stage. It’s a reminder about the connection these sorts of sacred spaces contain.
Watch the video on Youtube. Listen to the song on Bandcamp, Ampwall or streaming everyhere.
Second bit of great news – Electric Heart is available for preorder starting right now! Pressed to beautiful gold vinyl tucked inside of artwork by Jon Keller featuring photos by Brooke Bernard & Kevin Doyle. Oh, and a special insert zine featuring all the credits and lyrics.
It’s a beautiful record visually and aurally. Pick it up in the YK Shop.
(Also available on CD!)
Last but certainly not least, Jessica will be playing her album release show for Electric Heart on Sunday, October 19th at The Basement in Nashville, TN. Having heard these songs performed previously, I can attest to how powerful and immersive they are to hear live.
