Following up the success of her last album, Compostela, Jenn Grant has released a new single, the aptly named "Galaxies." The new track is rich with celestial echoing vocals and pulsing piano chords. Even Grant's initial inspiration for the track comes from the fascination with the expanse of the galaxy and the potential for other worlds, in contrast with the vastness of human life and all that exists already on earth. “I pictured people standing at the edge of the earth, hands outstretched, asking, ‘What is bigger than us, than any of this?’” she says.
Grant herself has been on quite a journey in the time between her last album, Compostela, and Paradise. Compostela earned her two JUNO Award (Canadian Grammy award) nominations for Songwriter & Contemporary Album of the Year. Following the success of Compostela, she took off on a tour around the world promoting the album to over 300 audiences worldwide. She then returned to a studio in her home of Lake Echo, Nova Scotia to create the new album, Paradise.
Paradise will be available everywhere March 3 2017. Jenn Grant plays Whelan's May 24. You can listen to "Galaxies" below.
