Jenny Lewis announces new LP 'Joy'All,' shares "Psychos"

Jenny Lewis has announced a new album, Joy’All, due June 9 via Blue Note/Capitol Records (pre-order). It’s her first album since 2019’s On The Line, and was produced by Dave Cobb and engineered by Greg Koller. Its title means “joy to all” or “a feeling of great pleasure and happiness,” and about making it, she says:

I started writing some of these songs on the road, pre-pandemic… and then put them aside as the world shut down, and then from my home in Nashville in early 2021, I joined a week-long virtual songwriting workshop with a handful of amazing artists, hosted by Beck. The challenge was to write one song every day for seven days, with guidelines from Beck. The guidelines would be prompts like ‘write a song with 1-4-5 chord progression,’ ‘write a song with only cliches,’ or ‘write in free form style.’ The first song I submitted to the group was ‘Puppy and a Truck.’

The album was also inspired by fellow Nashville songwriter Skeeter Davis; frequent collaborator Bobbi Rich found a costume of Skeeter’s and passed it onto Jenny, and she wears it on the cover of Joy’All: “I wanted to riff on the classic Nashville album cover, with the song titles on the front. The cover photo is a reference to a Skeeter Davis record and I’m wearing her costume!” Check out the artwork and tracklist below.

With the announcement of Joy’All, Jenny Lewis shared album opener “Psychos,” a rolling acoustic track with a hooky chorus and guitars and pedal steel at the fore. Also featured on the album is previously-released single “Puppy and a Truck.” Listen to both songs below.

Jenny will be on the road this summer, performing headlining shows (including NYC on July 18 at The Rooftop at Pier 17 with Cass McCombs and Hayden Pedigo), festival sets, and as part of The Postal Service on their tour with Death Cab For Cutie (including NYC on September 19 and 20 at Madison Square Garden, with Warpaint).
