Jenny Lewis announces new album, Joy’All

Jenny Lewis has announced a new album. On June 9, she’ll release Joy’All via Blue Note/Capitol. Today she’s shared the first single, “Psychos,” which you can hear below.

Lewis said in a press release, “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.’” 

Jenny Lewis’ former band Rilo Kiley are featured on our list, 10 More Essential Indie Rock Albums of the ’00s.
