Today we’re thrilled to bring you the premiere of the latest video from Canadian-born New York-based singer-songwriter, Jenny Kern, which is for her track “Feel It Again.” You can also check out the song on major streaming platforms at the following link.
‘Feel It Again,” which was released back in early May, is truly an enigma of a song in this sense that normally when listening to an emotionally charged song about some of the pain we’ve endured in relationships, some listeners may want to zone out and reflect, some may want to drown their sorrows, but this one will take you straight to the dance floor.
About the track, Jenny comments:
“Feel It Again” is essentially about the ups and downs of dealing with emotions especially when it comes to loving and being in love with another person. It’s an emotional release. A funky ode to dancing your pain away. Simply put, I want this song to make people feel more alive and in tune with their body.
The goal for this track and this upcoming EP was to really, truly play with rhythm. This song especially dives into that with the synth bass line, drum groove and rhythmic guitar. My focus was to step outside of the box. Not do the norm of what everyone expects of me. I wanted to show another side of my artistry. I want this song to be an anthem for those who are constantly overwhelmed with emotion.Jenny Kern
The aesthetically dazzling video which takes on a dream-pop 90s psychedelia vibe was directed by Allison Flom. Ali adds:
In this video I used colors and textures to elevate what I love about Jenny’s music. It’s a little 90s, a little contemporary, dreamy, relatable, introspective, brave…I wanted Jenny’s fans to see all those sides of her in Feel It Again. Watching Jenny perform brings her words to life in a new way, so I knew I needed to have a performance in this video.
But I also used the chaos of the bathtub, the balloons, the pink phone off the hook, and the indoor trees to allude to the inside of an artist’s mind, and how a bunch of elements have to get synthesized to create a cohesive product or performance, for an audience. We made this whole video in one week, in Brooklyn. I’m so grateful Jenny trusted me to direct this!Allison Flom
Jenny recently wrapped up a few shows, and she will be playing another one on July 15th at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 where she will be playing some new music, and will be having a ‘special surprise.’ Tickets for that are at the following link.

More On Jenny

Jenny Kern is a Canadian-born Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter with a dreamy indie-pop sound. Her magnetic vocal style and emotively piercing lyricism hasn’t failed to amass plenty of attention. “Puncuated by an electronic pulse inspired by her affinity for the works of Phoebe Bridgers and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, Jenny will remind more than a few music fans of a sound that resembles something of a middle ground between Sade and Blindspot-era Bruce Springsteen.” – Rock and Roll Globe
Jenny performed around Montreal during University before moving to NYC in 2013 where she started as a Page at NBC. She then worked for acclaimed filmmakers Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig and went on to become a producer in the film and television industry. In 2018 Jenny decided to take a leap of faith and pursue full time her passion for music. Drawing on her own experiences, her songs unfold through a confessional-style delivery revealing the strength that can only come through vulnerability. “It’s almost cathartic, sharing emotion. Being open is not an easy feat for anyone. I want people to know that these songs come from an honest place. We all struggle to find comfort in ourselves while being open to the unexpected.”
In the fall of 2018, she recorded her debut EP and began performing at notable venues around New York City. Jenny’s debut EP is an intimate collection of songs from years of self-reflection on her personal experience with self-doubt, regret and the search for comfort in painful seasons. “Expressive in her seriousness of her lyrics, Jenny shows all the cards. Every ratchet of emotions, describes her struggles and valiant efforts to conquer. We are human, and Jenny understands. This experiment, called life, is hard. Jenny’s songs and storytelling makes things better.” – comeherefloyd
In January 2019 she released her debut single, which received wide acclaim and immediately found an international audience on streaming platforms. Shortly after she released her debut EP in April 2019, she was invited on her first international tour in Europe and was featured on MTV, ABC and the CW.
In fall 2019 Jenny recorded two singles “Satellite” and “Now We Know” with producer Andy Seltzer (Maggie Rogers, Chelsea Cutler, Valley) which highlighted intimate songwriting along with a dreamy indie pop sound.
Jenny’s first single release of 2021, “Coming Back For Me”, is another collaboration with producer Andy Seltzer. Released in January of this year, “Coming Back For Me” caught the attention of legendary radio voice and programmer Bruce Warren and has spun on XPN and NPR’s World Café. 2021 has also seen Jenny’s music placed on several Spotify editorial playlists including Fresh Finds, Indie All Stars and New Music Friday which collectively have well over 1 million followers.
With each release she is “soundtracking somber, self-reflection and the uglier sides of human emotion with upbeat and cosmic-infused melodies which has become quite the signature sound for Jenny Kern” – When the Horn Blows
Last year Jenny released “I Never Thought That You Were Listening”, a four song EP, that landed features on Spin Magazine and Relix. Not only did she have three songs charting on top 40 radio but she has also amassed over 1 million streams on Spotify.
