Rising Americana-folk artist Jess Kerber shares the captivating production “Next To You,” a layered anthem rooted in understated electronic sonics and fingerpicked patterns to make for a hypnotic listening experience.
A quietly building number led by her echoing vocals, the track moves seamlessly from a honeyed lilt to a gentle coo and then a powerful howl, the track is framed by confidence and delicacy in equal parts. Reflecting on how our dreams tell us things we don’t know about ourselves, the track that came to life in Kerber’s childhood bedroom brims with a hazy sense of nostalgia.
Originally from Louisiana and now based in Nashville, Kerber who began her musical journey aged 13 has been driven by a love for sonic experimentation alongside an intimate, poetic songwriting style.
With her mix of luscious soundscapes and grounding lyrics, Kerber establishes herself as one of the most compelling new voices in modern folk and Americana, leading us through tales of love, loss, and longing with plenty of charm and grace.
