How’s a life so sweet
Feeling like a bitter end?
I could have known ya
Or shown ya a little tenderness
Easy in the beat
Seeking out a loyal friend
Life can get hazy
For a lady
Who never gets rest
(stop! so wonderful)
Sacred is heart ache
How this roller coaster’s worth it man I swear
Some keep on messing around
The rest of us are crying out for a change
Glamoring in vain
Maybe you can put it down?
Everyone's fetchin
For attention
We're spinning round and round
Trying ain’t no waste
Walk in love without a doubt
Ya should know better
Get your center
And move beyond corrupt
(stop! so wonderful)
Sacred is heart ache
How this roller coaster’s worth it man I swear
Some keep on messing around
The rest of us are crying out for a change
Healing the scars from all this time
How its been
So hard living baby
But now your more the wise
Growing
You’ve always been
Full of strength and full of stride
You’re sanctified
In tenderness
You’re the flame for those who need some light
Woman
Flowering
Your so so so
Beautiful
Yeah
Sage and Cigarettes
Get you through the darkest night
You keep your heart and your head
Right above the water
Embodying all of life
Woman
Growin
Your so so so
Beautiful
Yeah
And I know that
When the man, when the man
He tried to take you down
You mended your armor
Fight your fight
Take back your crown
Yeah yeah yeah
Just when you fall
And you feel life is weary
You take them bricks off your back
And you build up something so full
Of loving
Sage and cigarettes
Healing the scars from all this time
How its been
So hard living baby
But now your more the wise
Growing
You’ve always been
Full of strength and full of stride
Woman
Beaming
You’re so so so
Beautiful!
about
Abby Jeanne has been an artist her entire life. While growing up in Milwaukee, WI, she was indoctrinated into the arts via a public art schooling experiment in the 90s. As a pre-teen, she was socially adopted by a Rock N Roll cafe cult, where she wrote music, painted, and started her deep infatuation with records, especially 60s pop and underground soul/rock n’ roll via the haunted jukebox that lived there. A series of family tragedies, including the loss of her sister, left Abby living in a car with her guitar, which led to her traveling overseas and carving out a music career for herself.
Through it all, she is currently a New York City-based multimedia artist who has built a name for herself through not only her music, but her visual art and event throwing. After years of hustling to create DIY releases and garnering the support of national radio stations across the country, 2022 saw Abby Jeanne release the single “That’s Where We Are” on Philadelphia’s Eraserhood Sound.
Today she is back with a brand single titled “Know Better.” This unforgettable track features Eraserhood Sound’s signature in-house analog synth and soul production, and they represent some of Abby’s best, most inspired work to date. “Know Better” is a rollicking pop-soul party-starter that features a four on the floor beat, electrifying guitar riffs, and deceptively profound lyrics that examine the selfishness and vapidity of today’s society.
This new single, which will be available on vinyl as a 45 in the spring of 2023, showcases the extremely talented, complex, and exciting Abby Jeanne, an artist who is undoubtedly ready to take the world by storm in 2023 and beyond.
