London-based Filipino singer-songwriter Jehnniel emerges with a unique blend of alternative electronic and indie-pop, with her newest single ‘Heart Beat’ marking a soulful addition to her growing catalogue. Following her introspective ‘Blue Skies’, ’Heart Beat’ continues Jehnniel’s journey into emotionally-charged storytelling. With her hauntingly calm yet intense vocal style, she delivers a powerful message on the complexities of judgement, social pressures, and the human desire for acceptance.
Jehnniel’s music feels like a glimpse into an intimate diary, echoing a blend of the old and new, from the poetic depth of Bob Dylan to the ethereal influences of Björk and Radiohead. Her creative process is deeply intuitive, beginning with raw chords on her guitar that evolve organically into melodies, capturing an honesty that’s refreshing and deeply personal.
‘Heart Beat’ was co-produced with Roberto Panovski, with the track diving into the struggles of navigating prejudice and misconceptions. Through layered melodies and intricate beats, Jehnniel addresses the universal experience of feeling misunderstood- a reflection on how societal norms can shape perceptions, and how we all yearn to be seen for who we truly are.
Jehnniel’s sound, described as “emotionally dynamic yet calming,” creates a contemplative space for her audience, blending nostalgia with modern soul and electronic influences. As Jehnniel continues to build her career, her songs offer an authentic voice in today’s indie landscape, speaking to anyone who’s ever felt the weight of judgement yet continues to seek understanding and connection.
