Jenny Lewis Releases New Song ‘Puppy and a Truck’
Jenny Lewis sings of life’s simple pleasures as a 45-year-old in her newly dropped “Puppy and a Truck.” In the song, Lewis sings: My 40s are kicking my assAnd handing em to me in a margarita glass….Like a shot of good luckI got a puppy and a truckIf you feel like giving upShut upGet a puppy and a truck Her rippling serenade apace with longing pedal steel exhale her country soul, and her searching for the little joys. Aging may inevitably leave us seeking more to life, yet the vibrance of the new track proves Lewis isn’t slowing down. And we can relax knowing she’ll have a margarita in her hand for the journey. The track has been a fan favorite throughout her support of Harry Styles on his Love on Tour this year. “Puppy and a Truck” was written by Lewis and produced by Dave Cobb, and i...
Watch Jenny Lewis Zone Out in Cemetery on New Song ‘GLTR’
Jenny Lewis is feeling weird about re-entering society after a year spent on the couch. In the new iPhone-shot video for “GLTR,” where once again teamed with Serengeti, Lewis is alone and maskless, splayed out on the grass in her matching grey sweats as puffy clouds drift by. She happens to be in the Hendersonville Memory Gardens, the cemetery north of Nashville where Johnny Cash and members of the Carter Family are interred. But in the video, it might as well be any old cemetery. Her sweatshirt briefly changes into a cool turquoise sweatshirt with OutKast on the front. A small black dog appears. At some point, it becomes night and Lewis is picking her teeth with a lit sparkler. We’ve all been there. All of this restlessness is bottled up in the song’s fidgety, hip-hop beat. Serengeti enth...
Jenny Lewis and Serengeti Drop Another New Song, ‘Idiot’
If you’ve been a fan of the first two tracks from the unlikely duo of Jenny Lewis and Serengeti, then the third one should get you all the way through the tail end of this pandemic. “Idiot” takes a poppier approach to the same unique combination that made “Vroom Vroom” and “Unblu” successful, including the same kind of DIY video created by Lewis herself. <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, “obj”: {“id”:”25115″,”width”:”480″,”height”:”270″,”playlist”:”10315″,”inviewBottomOffset”:”105px”} }); –> “These songs with Dave (Serengeti) start with a late-night feeling and access to ...
Jenny Lewis and Serengeti Release Latest Collaboration, ‘Vroom Vroom’
For fans of last month’s Jenny Lewis and Serengeti team-up for “Unblu,” the dynamic duo are back with another (very different) track. Although “Vroom Vroom” stays with a bit of the slower-paced, relaxing vibe of their original collaboration, it goes in an entirely new way with its retro-futuristic pop sound. It sounds less like floating through the clouds and more like taking a late-night trip to a diner because you can’t sleep (you know, back in the pre-COVID days when it was safe to do such things). Much like the duo’s first track, “Vroom Vroom” features a phone-shot video directed by Lewis. Although this one features decidedly fewer bouncing balls than its predecessor, it’s a good reminder that our favorite musicians are stuck at home with their phones a lot of the time, just like the r...
The Last Temptation of Jenny: Our 2006 Jenny Lewis Profile
This article originally appeared in the February 2006 issue of SPIN Jenny Lewis is concerned that she talks too much. She does not directly say this, and there is no evidence to support her fear. But this is her concern. And I know this because of the manner in which she talks about total strangers, which is always the easiest way to admit things about yourself. “Let me tell you what happened to me on the way over here,” Lewis says. We are sitting in a Lower East Side restaurant called the Pink Pony, but neither of us is eating. I am pretending not to ask whether her mom had a substance abuse problem during Lewis’ childhood, and she is pretending not to care. But she eventually says this: “I was walking over from the Howard Johnson’s, where I like to stay, and there was an older...
Jenny Lewis and Bill Murray Get Into the Holiday Spirit With Drake Cover
This year has offered us many strange things. But one of the good ones has been the ongoing artist collaborations that have taken place that are seemingly of the moment. Longtime pals Jenny Lewis and Bill Murray joined in on the fun on Wednesday (Dec. 23) night. In an Instagram Live jam session, the pair covered Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later.” You definitely didn’t have Lewis and Murray covering Drake on your 2020 bingo card, but it makes sense, all things considered. This isn’t the first time the pair linked up. In 2015, Lewis and Murray joined forces on the Sofia Coppola-helmed special A Very Murray Christmas. A few weeks ago, Lewis teamed with Serengeti for the holiday-tinged “Unblu.” Meanwhile, Murray went back-and-forth with the Doobie Brothers in a rare, good-natured legal ...
Jenny Lewis and Seregenti Team for ‘Unblu’
Surprise! Jenny Lewis and Serengeti have teamed up for a new song just in time for the holidays. Titled “Unblu,” the quiet, downtempo number is out now on Lewis’ Loves Way label and was produced by Lewis and Andrew Broder. Though it may seem like a strange pairing on the surface, the two have actually been pals for quite a while, and they trace their friendship and how the song came to be in the statement that you can read below: Jenny met Dave down a long hallway in a former Communist Media Center in East Berlin during the People Festival of 2018. Dave asked Jenny to sing on a song about Tom Selleck passing on the part of Indiana Jones. Can you imagine a world where Tom Selleck is Indiana Jones? A fast friendship was born as they skulked about, cracking jokes and chatting about thei...
Bon Iver Tap Jenny Lewis, Bruce Springsteen for New Song ‘AUATC’
Just days after a mega-feature on Taylor Swift’s Folklore, Justin Vernon surprise-released a new Bon Iver song on Wednesday. The group’s latest, “AUATC” (or “Ate Up All Their Cake”), features a high-profile team of musicians, including Bruce Springsteen and Jenny Lewis on backing vocals. The track’s music video — which was created, produced and directed by Bon Iver collaborators Aaron Anderson and Eric Timothy Carlson — was shot in New York and features “dance and movement” from Randall Riley. Along with the track, billed as the “second episode” of Bon Iver’s “Season Five,” following April’s “PDLIF,” Bon Iver encouraged fans to “fight capitalism” and laid out some organizations...
