It’s no secret that Nashville is an epicentre for music. It’s a reason why artists flock there year after year and why the city produces some of America’s most notable talent. The latest promising name from the creative hub is Jordan Kinsey, an unparalleled songwriter who possesses a truly timeless voice. Unlike many in her generation who simply follow the trends in the hopes of making a one-hit-wonder, Kinsey‘s sound is sustainable; it’s one that spans decades and appeals to a wide set of listeners. You’ll hear exactly what we mean in her recent cover of Melanie‘s ‘Together Alone’.
This meaningful ballad is composed of the tried and tested formula of voice with piano, although the way that Jordan Kinsey handles each purposeful lyric, makes space for poignant pauses, and doesn’t rush the deft piano composition. The solitude of Kinsey‘s voice in this minimalist soundscape speaks to that sense of loneliness we all too often experience in this modern world. However, as the song’s title ‘Together Alone’ implies, there’s another side to this story. With her honeyed vocal, Kinsey outstretches a hand offering comfort and company. She sincerely sings, “we’ll grow old, we’ll take care of each other,” which is a promise that most of us only wish to hear.
There’s no doubt that with this stirring single, Jordan Kinsey will leave a lasting impression.
