Jett Jenkins' debut single "City in Anger" receives a stunning music video
Released in 2021, but finally receiving a much needed music video that immaculately has brought her words to life, Jett Jenkins’ “City In Anger” has come alive once again. Keep reading for our full review of the track, as well as an update on this talented artist.
Indie pop singer and songwriter Jett Jenkins has already made waves with her debut single "City in Anger," a melancholic anthem that pulls at the heartstrings. As mentioned, it was officially released in 2021 but has made a much needed return in the form of a music video that has simply exemplified Jett’s skills as a storyteller and songwriter. The music comes to life for a vivid viewing experience, and in the case you’ve never heard the song before, provides a perfect opportunity to get to learn a little more about her. Of course, we highly recommend you give it a spin whenever possible.
Written in the wee hours of New Year's Day in Malibu, Jenkins channels her distress into a poignant track that speaks to anyone who has craved stability and comfort amidst the chaos of life. Taking cues akin to Wolf Alice as her muse, Jenkins created a stunning visual representation of the song that captures the emotion of the track. However, "City in Anger" isn't just a catchy tune; it's also a release for Jenkins. The song was written in the wake of her father's suicide, and the music video sees her confront her feelings surrounding the tragedy head-on. In a powerful scene, Jenkins speaks directly to a man who is presumably her father, expressing how his choices have affected her life. Without spoiling too much else, it’s just another reason to hit the play button.
The song itself is a beautiful, haunting tribute to those we've lost and the pain that lingers in their wake. Jenkins's ethereal vocals blend perfectly with the track's moody instrumentation, creating a sense of seriousness that will stick with you long after the song ends. "City in Anger" is really just the first in a long line of amazing singles from this talented artist, and we can't wait to see what Jenkins has in store for us next.
