New Slang

On Episode 160, I'm joined by singer-songwriter Jillette Johnson. At week's end (Friday, Feb. 12), Johnson will be releasing her forthcoming album, the gleaming It's a Beautiful Day & I Love You. On this new album, Johnson works in a bright and sunny sonic palette into the mix. While she never ventures too far from her piano-laden work, punches of sharp guitar, light '70s pop-inspired harmonies, and upbeat melodies find the now Nashville-based Johnson delivering some of her best, most comfortable work. While she still delves into serious subjects about anxiety, self-destructiveness, pain, and struggle throughout, Johnson's gratitude and acceptance shine brighter offering a resonating message. 

On this one, we talk about the writing and recording of It's a Beautiful Day & I Love You, the songwriting process in general, mood boards, Air Force Ones, moving to Nashville, and more.
