GIRLS!

Listen: GIRLS! by Jenny Kern

May 31, 2024 in stream

The new single from Canadian-born, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Jenny Kern, GIRLS! is a breathless tribute to the liberation of embracing your desires.

Having garnered increasing attention since the release of her debut single, Slow Burn, Jenny has been refining an indie-dream-pop sound. Here on GIRLS!, we get to experience her journey of self-discovery, as she explains:

‘This song is probably my most exciting and empowering song to date. I had this moment in my head where I realized, omg, I think I like girls. This track marks the beginning of a huge journey of self-exploration and coming into what being queer means to me… …I hope people hear this song and feel the same sense of freedom to be whoever they are and love whoever they want.’

Both the song’s message, and the way Kern conveys it, are beautiful. Hearing her commitment to connect-with and be at one with herself is inspirational, as is her desire to empower others to do the same. I also find myself enthused by the contagious affection this record embodies. Jenny bounces from hushed vocals that liken romantic sweetness to Cherry Cola, before coyly singing:

‘What if I told you, that I was in to you? Would that be saying too much? 'Cause I’m down to risk it all: I don’t care who knows it’

The result puts me right into Jenny’s headspace — excited, determined, and awed by a new-found recognition of her sense of self. GIRLS! has a thrilling, fresh energy. I can’t get enough of it.
