Jesse Lynn Madera’s sophomore album, Speed of Sound, is out now on Big Fat Dress. Jesse unveils the background of the sizzling single, “Austin”: “When I was a teenager growing up in Houston, I used to sneak off on the weekend to go hang with a guy who was in veterinary school at Texas A&M. The song is about the rush of feelings when lust meets the thrill of the road.”
Produced by Americana/folk icon Dan Navarro (Lowen & Navarro), seven-time Grammy winner Jim Scott (Tedeschi Trucks Band, Wilco), and Grammy-nominated producer Ryan Hadlock (Lumineers, Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile), Speed of Sound showcases Madera’s irresistible melodies and a storytelling approach that is reminiscent of the ’90s golden age of Lilith Fair’s searingly empowered, vulnerable female singer-songwriters. One journalist describes Jesse as “channeling gypsy, free-spirit vibes of Laurel Canyon with a dash of Texas spice in a sound that has carved a new lane.” Come along for the ride!
