Dominic and Tom – Jenny (2020)

Everyone has that moment when they need an escape or a second of unbridled freedom. Dominic and Tom have taken these moments and moulded them into the story of ‘Jenny’. The single tells the tale of a young pair who need a moment to forget it all and bask in true freedom. This is a song that most people can relate to as we have all felt the need to get away at some point.

The search for a moment of escape comes from two very different people. Dominic Momberg and Tom Watkeys use their differences to complement each other for music that inspires and tells stories. A thirst for the next adventure is tempered by the stability of settled married life to create folk-pop sounds that capture every avenue of life.



‘Jenny’ opens with a gentle call through the vocals. The soft vocals have an easy vibe as you are drawn into the story of the lyrics. The warmth of the vocals remains throughout the single even as the performance starts to soar on the chorus. Through the performance, you are drawn into a feeling of escaping and getting away from everything that pulls you down. The lyrics paint a vivid picture but the vocal delivery places a smile on your face.

The movement of the vocals is perfectly complemented by the melody. The light acoustic guitar line in the opening slowly builds with the vocals. The drums roll into existence like the wheels of a car on a road trip into escapism. As the song progresses, the rolling beats get you moving to their rhythm before guitars crash into life for a pulsing end. The crescendo of the track has you flying into something better and a moment of true freedom.

Dominic and Tom draw you into an unforgettable story of searching for a moment of freedom in the unforgettable ‘Jenny’. A building of the vocals and melody pulls you into the story only to shove you into a soaring search for unbridled freedom. By the end of the single, you will be itching to find your own moment of escape.
