Jenny Lewis - The Voyager

 

The third solo album from the Rilo Kiley frontwoman

Featuring "Just One Of The Guys" and "Head Underwater"

Album download included

Celebrated California singer songwriter Jenny Lewis returns with The Voyager, which will be released by Warner Bros. Records on July 29th. This is the former Rilo Kiley frontwoman's third solo album and first in six years, following 2006's Rabbit Fur Coat (with The Watson Twins) and 2008's Acid Tongue.

The Voyager is Lewis' most deeply personal album to date, documenting her struggle to cope after the death of her estranged father in 2010 and the subsequent break-up of her band Rilo Kiley. The Voyager's rootsy, golden glow comes courtesy of Lewis and the artists she chose to produce various tracks, including Ryan Adams (who, alongside Mike Viola, produced all but three of the tracks), Beck, and Lewis' longtime collaborator Johnathan Rice. The Voyager finds the always relatable songwriter at her sharp-witted best, singing about her recent experiences with honesty and incisiveness.

The video to the first single, "Just One Of The Guys" (watch above) is a hoot too. Lewis enlists a few A-list actress pals — Anne Hathaway, Kristen Stewart and Brie Larson — who don drag (moustaches for everyone) as they strum along in an all-ladies band while Lewis' dreamy and melancholic vocals take center stage.
