Jenny Mitchell
Releases New Single ‘Wildfires’ &
Announces Australian
Tour
Jenny Mitchell has released her new single, ‘Wildfires’,
the title track from her upcoming second album due for release later this
year. Jenny’s previous album, The Old Oak,
debuted at #1 on the NZ Country iTunes Charts and #2 on
the Independent Music NZ Charts, receiving critical acclaim around
the globe. John Apice, from No Depression Magazine, perhaps put it best when he
said Jenny‘ doesn’t deserve to be discovered 40 years from now.
She deserves to be listened to now.’

At just 19 years of age, Jenny has won a NZ
Gold Guitar Award, an MLT Songwriting Award and was
named Southland Entertainer of the Year. She’s a graduate of the
Australian Academy of Country Music and is one of New Zealand’s brightest
rising stars, moulding country, folk and Americana into her own unique style.
And at the heart of it all is her love of storytelling.
‘Wildfires’ was written about a toxic relationship
in an attempt, Jenny says, ‘to explain why I opted to stay
with that particular person for so long, regardless of whether it was logical
or not. When you’re wrapped up in that emotion it’s hard to grasp any
perspective, and I really wanted to paint a picture of what that feels like.’
It’s a story of passion and intoxication with an urgent, Americana
feel. ‘Wildfires burn so easily,’ sings Jenny at
the close, and this track is destined to burn itself into audiences’ hearts and
minds.
Recorded at Love HZ Studios in Sydney, ‘Wildfires’ was
produced by Matt Fell, who has worked with artists including Brad
Butcher, Fanny Lumsden, Shane Nicholsonand Sara Storer. ‘I
listened to so many records while searching for the right producer for this
project,’ says Jenny, ‘and all my favourites had
the same name in the production credits: Matt Fell. I’m such a fan of all his
work and I’m so glad the universe kept pointing me in his direction.’
Both Jenny’s debut and upcoming second album were
crowd-funded, proving beyond doubt that her music has struck a chord with the
public. She’s played support for Jason Kerrison and iconic New
Zealanders The Waratahs and, having already toured in
Australia, Ireland and Sweden, she’ll be returning to Australia for festival
appearances and headline shows. ‘The voice of a lioness, the soul of a
sage,’ remarked Luka Bloom, and you can hear her roar – in
