There’s a great deal of vulnerability and resilience in Jenna Kearns’ music. Hailing from Wales, the talented songstress provides striking evidence that a disability doesn’t mean one should suppress their creative spirit. In fact, Kearns seems to be greatly inspired by her songwriting allure, helping her express painful memories and relevant experiences with anyone willing to listen.
We certainly are. ‘I Wasn’t Ready’ marks Jeanna’s latest effort, out today. Steeped in poignancy and emotional storytelling, the song flourishes on a cinematic, orchestral-driven production and Kearns’ luscious, precise vocals, wrapping listeners into one of the most heartfelt and hard-hitting records we have come across this year. You see, Jenna writes music that’s fully wholesome and authentic, music that’s a direct reflection of her troubles and deep courage.
Co-written with Eleri Angharad and Rachel Walker-Mason, and produced by Tom Auton, ‘I Wasn’t Ready’ looks deeper into a near-death experience involving a misdiagnosis and a long recovery. As Kearns explains: “In a moment I wasn’t supposed to survive, I knew I didn’t want to die. There was still so much I wanted to experience. Now, I live every day the best I can — so when my time comes, I’ll know I truly lived.” Words that are quite empowering and eye-opening; perhaps we should learn from Jenna and cherish every single moment of our fragile existence.
