Jenny Colquitt Something Beautiful

 

Jenny Colquitt is a singer songwriter from North west of England from a place called Widnes who crafts songs with emotive lyrics and memorable melodies. Her debut EP Wide Open Spaces was released in 2016 with her follow up EP Dear Daughter released at the end of last year. Tell Me Where the Light is, from the Dear Daughter EP, is a song that has captured the hearts of fans and industry alike and was featured as one of the songs on the Halcyon Fatea Showcase Sessions Summer 2021, which is a downloadable body of the year’s most recognised music. Her songs are fused with folk, rock, pop with a touch of country in some of her previous releases. Captain Thomas Moore is one of her most country sounding songs and was released last year with a video to raise money for the Captain Thomas Moore foundation to celebrate the life of this man who did amazing things for nurses who work in the NHS.  

Over the course of the last year or so Jenny gained a massive worldwide following from fans and industry alike  through livestreams, blog features, artist of the week features and continuous live streams on twitch, Facebook and YouTube. Jenny was recently awarded the title of Best Solo Singer/Songwriter at the Graham Steel Music Company Awards and has amassed more than 2000 followers on Twitch, the music and gaming streaming service. 

November the 26 sees the release of Jenny Colquitt's debut album and over the course of the last few months has been releasing singles in the lead up to this. Dirty Town, Shape and on Friday 15th October Jenny brings us Something Beautiful, the albums title track. 

The story behind this song is to remind us that in each of us there is something beautiful and we all have something unique and special to offer this world. The day Jenny wrote this song she had struggled with a lot of things having had a terrible day, things were feeling so overwhelming and kept piling up and negative opinions of those around her only added to these feelings of being not good enough and self doubt and feeling unworthy. This song was born from this day. 

This folk/pop/rock track begins with what is thunder and a piano intro introducing what is this horrible day and Jenn's signature vocal sings

"was it something I said is it my fault will anyone hear me the day that I fall into my head away from it all are you happy to see me walk down this road"

What strikes me most about this track is the great drum beat behind the song that builds to the pre chorus and builds again to the chorus where we have an evanescence sounding chorus. Harmonies kick in in the chorus to add depth and everything complements each other. 

Throughout the track we hear the thunder now and again which adds so much emotion and frustration within this track which is where this story and song came from. This is such a simple idea that adds so much to the track and adds another level. We have a guitar solo that kicks in in the instrumental section that adds to the rockier edge feel to the track. 

This track is powerful, has such thoughtful and amazing production behind it that does not take away from the powerhouse vocal Jenny displays on this track and that she has become known for. You can hear the frustration in her voice and when you sing along it will definitely take some of your frustrations away too. Credit goes to Dave at Alibi Productions for the work here with Jenny. Everything has been discussed openly and it is apparent that they have worked as a team to produce a stand out track and is the title track of the forthcoming album out soon.

Jenny Colquitt is Voice of a Woman one to watch always since first discovering her throughout lockdown when she was requested for an all hour request show. She has such a natural skill for song writing and brings them to life with her stunning, spinetingling vocals and deserves to be recognised far and wide in this industry.
