Jenn Grant has released a new video for her latest single, “Gonna Be Free,” co-starring her beloved dog, Bird. The track is off her forthcoming album Queen of the Strait.

“Shapes and symbols have always held important significance to me.” “I use them in my art when I’m painting, as well as in my daily life, to actively cultivate hope, magic and strength. My first postpartum story was all about me finding my feet again. It was a great challenge, but it also brought me growth and a new perspective on what really matters to me. This pattern of symbols revealed in the snow represents the values I hold dear. Deep thanks to tattoo artist Jason Francis at Super Rad Not Bad Tattoos in Bedford, NS, for gifting me this piece. Shout-out to Bird, my beautiful co-star and forever sweet baby girl. You are the queen of my life.” Says Grant.

Queen of the Strait was Co-produced with Joshua Van Tassel (Bahamas, Christine Bougie, Doug Paisley) and longtime collaborator Daniel Ledwell, it is a modern-day classic of country and Americana, elevated by Jenn’s unmistakable pop-infused charm.

“This album is an autobiographical tale made from some of the most impactful stories of my life. Lyrically I feel it’s my most direct and most poetic work to date,” shares Grant. “Many of these songs and stories encapsulate the journeys I shared with my brother, travelling between our two parents after a tumultuous separation. We witnessed our mother build a new life; from heartbreak to yielding a sense of adventure and magic in the years that followed. It is about life and death, the importance of grieving well, childhood, parenthood, love, abuse and formation. It’s a tribute to my ancestors and a reflection that love is eternal, and it is everything.”
