Jenny Lewis is releasing a new album called Joy'All on June 9 via Blue Note/Capitol Records. She's already shared the single "Psychos" and "Puppy and a Truck," and today she's revealing another one called "Giddy Up." Lewis' fifth solo album, the follow-up to 2019's On the Line, was produced by Dave Cobb, whose credits include work with John Prine, Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, and Jason Isbell.

“I started writing some of these songs on the road, pre-pandemic…and then put them aside as the world shut down, and then from my home in Nashville in early 2021, I joined a week-long virtual songwriting workshop with a handful of amazing artists, hosted by Beck," she previously shared about the album's inception. "The challenge was to write one song every day for seven days, with guidelines from Beck. The guidelines would be prompts like ‘write a song with 1-4-5 chord progression,’ ‘write a song with only cliches,’ or ‘write in free form style.’”
