On Friday Pete Yorn returned with his brand new single “Jeannine.” It’s a track that has the trademark elements of a great song from Yorn, whose timeless sound feels as essential as ever in our current state of being. It also once again see’s Yorn working with Jackson Phillips of Day Wave, who produced the single as well as b-side “The World.”
Today he shared the music video for “Jeannine” the shows the inspiration for the track.
As Yorn explains below:
Inspired by the tragic story of Jeannine Deckers, The Singing Nun, who’s #1 hit “Dominique” kept “Louie Louie” by The Kingsmen out of the top spot in 1963, “Jeannine” is a deceptively sunny song that deals with the repression of self and the hope that one day the world will understand an individual’s struggle to feel free to express who they are at their core.”
Enjoy a listen to “Jeannine” below.
