Based in LA, Growing in the Cold is the singer’s latest compilation. It follows the successful release of her debut album, Love, Love, Love. Since her initial offering, her music has been featured on various TV shows, movies as well as commercial campaigns.
Armed with a guitar and her sweet, sometimes quirky vocals; her music is lighthearted and filled with great melody that easily charms.
On her Facebook page, she’s described as, “cheerful and cheeky, creatively ADD artist from Los Angeles… Jess is also a dinner party throwing, hen raising, people loving, thrift store shopping, self professed tomboy who hates musicals and tilapia but secretly loves painfully slow BBC miniseries and booty dancing alone in her bedroom. “
The singer’s carefree spirit shows beautifully in her songs, most of which are easy-listening acoustic pop gems minus the autotune. Opening her compilation is Let Go, a breezy pop single that makes full use of Penner’s sweet girly vocals and penchant for uplifting melodies. If you listen closely, you’ll notice a slight Regina Spektor vibe in her voice that just adds to the whimsical feel. Tracks like Everywhere I Go and Life is Rosy, has a familiar vibe to it.

On the other hand, The Lucky One is a slower single that showcases the artists’ more serious side. Her voice sounds like teenager that’s wise beyond her years.
