Toronto-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jessica Sevier merges country, roots, and Americana influences with rock energy and R&B touches, creating music as edgy and raw as her lyrics. The first song to be released from this new body of work is “Motel.” The track has a mid paced swagger, bringing to mind a picture of a dusty road and a lone cowgirl on a forthright and very clear mission; confronting her insecurities head-on and turning the tables on a toxic and abusive partner. Co-written with Andrew Allen (multi-platinum singer-songwriter) and Ron Lopata (Jully Black, Scott Helman, Matt Dusk,), “Motel” is laced with sultry vocals and determined lyrics. “Your right hand left a hole in the wall and now you're calling out for me to stay. The old me mighta played that game, but it’s changing, oh I’m changing”.
“Wild Wild Woman,” sees Sevier working with collaborators Serena Ryder (JUNO award-winning singer-songwriter) and Hill Kourkoutis (JUNO award-winning producer - Royal Wood, Meghan Patrick, Aysanabee, Digging Roots), who pushed her to delve deeper into her personal experiences, inspiring anyone knocked down to rise up again.
“Good To Drive," the most country pop track of the new music, is slated to be the first radio single from the forthcoming EP. It captures the longing that drives someone to make themselves available to someone else at any time. Co-written by Robyn Ottolini (award-winning singer-songwriter) and Derek Hoffman (Arkells, The Trews), the song is insanely hooky, eminently singable, and relatable, but far from one-dimensional.
Since her 2019 debut single, "Ghost of Tom," Sevier's music has been streamed millions of times. She’s grown her fanbase through live performances, sharing stages with artists including James Barker Band, Jason McCoy and Tim and the Glory Boys, and playing at top venues like Nashville’s Whiskey Jam and Toronto’s Lee’s Palace. Expect more releases from Sevier soon, blending strength and vulnerability in equal measure.
