Working cowgirl and talented songstress Jenna Paulette has been diligently crafting new music since signing with independent label Leo33 earlier this year. Now, Paulette is set to release her sophomore album ‘Horseback' on September 6, 2024. This new project arrives at a significant time in her life, as she embraces marriage and anticipates the arrival of her first child. Fans can pre-save the album here.
“This record is a culmination of perspectives I have from the moments and people that made me: rural, cowboy, America, my biggest heartaches leading to my healing, the men and women I’m so proud to come from and represent,” Paulette shared exclusively with Cowboys & Indians. “From the ‘ear break’ on the record ‘Prairie Primrose,’ which I literally wrote most of from the saddle, to one of my favourites to perform live, ‘Run the Damn Ball,’ to ‘The Prophet (Grandaddy’s Song),’ it’s all a picture of the perspectives and personalities I’ve been influenced by throughout my life. A body of work I can stand behind.”
With ‘Darlin’ and ‘Hang Your Hat' already available, Paulette is giving fans another glimpse into the album with her new single, ‘Wild Is Her Favorite Color,' out today. Written by award-winning songwriters Lori McKenna, Liz Rose, and Hillary Lindsey, the song celebrates living authentically and embracing one's true self. Paulette reflected on Instagram, saying, “Being wild has always gotten a bad rap, but I’ve always felt wild. Not Fireball shots at 3 A.M. wild, but honeysuckle growing up an old fence post. Horse wide open in a pasture. Sunset on fire, wind in my hair kind of wild.”
Earlier this year, Paulette released ‘The Girl I Was (Red Dirt Deluxe),' marking the anniversary of her critically acclaimed album, ‘The Girl I Was.' Written during a tumultuous period in her life, the album chronicled her journey through heartbreak and self-discovery. The album showcased Paulette’s ability to convey deep emotion through her music.
Currently, Paulette is touring with Aaron Watson on The Armadillo Dance Hall Tour. For more information on her new music and upcoming shows, visit jennapaulette.com and follow her on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
