Jensey – Ride Or Die (2023)
Finding a blend of Chris Stapleton, Damien Rice and a tinge of Dustin Kensrue (Thrice), singer-songwriter Jensey takes a new twist on country in his music. From folk to rock with a country slider, the US-based musician has a raw ruggedness to his tone; however, retains a sophisticated elegance in the delivery. A seasoned performer, this artist is garnering a loyal following with his captivating stage presence. While he offers an outstanding live show it is his coverage on international blogs and radio stations that has him reaching far beyond his North American borders.
Already known for raw, intimate melodies delivered with charismatic charm, Jensey can lure you in with a single strum of his guitar and he does so with his debut song ‘Ride Or Die’. A combination of old-school country with bold drums matching dynamic, sliding guitars, ‘Ride Or Die’ has you tapping your toes from the outset. Just as you feel yourself settling in the swarm of country music, a swooshing crescendo to a soul-stirring guitar solo breaks the bubble. Scorching but truly sublime, Jensey’s talent as a guitarist hits you in a blaze of sound.
Considering the melody with the outstanding guitar, one can feel the confidence of Jensey pulsating through the track. For me, however, the true beauty of ‘Ride Or Die’ lies in Jensey’s vocals. Gruff, rugged and a bit grungy, but simultaneously mellow with a smooth lilt, his voice grabs your heart and leaves you breathless. Whether you are sitting back in a Nashville bar drinking whiskey at a small gig or pounding your hand at a sold-out music festival, ‘Die Or Ride’ speaks to everyone on some level.
In addition to his single, Jensey released an official music video for ‘Ride Or Die’. You can view the video below or via his YouTube channel. Please note: the video uses lighting effects with image transitions that can trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy.
