JESSICA LYNN — COUNTRY ARTIST AND SONGWRITER — ANNOUNCES 10-TRACK ALBUM ALL I OWN
16th October 2024Acclaimed Brooklyn-born country artist and songwriter Jessica Lynn has poured years of relentless dedication into her upcoming 10-track album, All I Own. Shaped by the professional hurdles and recent health battles she’s overcome, the album — announced today — stands as a deeply personal project, set for release on January 17, 2025.
Alongside the announcement, she delivers “Something ‘Bout You,” the sixth and final single from the LP, an uplifting ode to falling in love with her husband. Jessica shares, “‘Something ‘Bout You’ is a feel-good story about falling in love and having the most amazing adventures together. There is something nostalgic about the song and I hope it brings everyone listening back to a really special time in their lives.”
Complete with an insightful tour diary style music video, the track’s positive vibes are further expressed through on-stage shenanigans and adventures throughout Europe. “My first-hand account of seeing how music can connect with people around the world, many of which don’t even speak the same language, is such an incredible feeling,” Jessica explains. “The places I’ve gotten to see through performing, the amazing people I’ve met, and the experiences I’ve been so blessed to have by doing what I love to do, truly makes me positively reflect on my journey. Just like ‘Something ‘Bout You’ says – I thank God for this life every single day.”
Jessica Lynn is not only a “powerhouse vocalist,” as Taste of Country described, but also an infectious songwriter with an undeniable, arena-ready stage presence. All combined, it has catapulted her into a well-seasoned touring machine, playing her songs to audiences around the world. Described as “country arena rock” by American Songwriter, Jessica is eager to challenge genre norms and carve out her own space in the industry. Just as her music career was taking flight, she nearly lost everything.
Following a routine sinus surgery that led to a battle with postoperative complications and muscle tension dysphonia (MTD), which threatened to derail both her voice and career, All I Own stands as a testament to Jessica’s resilience. “I hid what I was going through from everyone because I was afraid we would lose tour dates, opportunities, and I didn’t really want to admit it was real,” Jessica admitted. “I started singing as soon as I could talk and I started my first band when I was 13. Music is all I’ve ever known and the thought of potentially never being able to sing normally again was a feeling I couldn’t quite put into words.”
Forced to record in short 10-minute intense bursts of vocal effort, Jessica channeled her struggles into the album, each note carrying the weight of her recovery journey. She seamlessly wove double meanings into each track, inviting listeners to find their own stories within hers. Jessica has taken all of her blessings and hardships with grace, pouring her soul into every avenue she explores. This latest display of that can be heard on All I Own as she fought through her vocal injury — not even skipping a beat to ensure her music gets to be heard.

Despite her New Yorker background, Jessica’s connection to country music could not be severed, blending raw emotion and intricate narratives that resonate with listeners worldwide. Her passion for combining music with philanthropy began at an early age, complete with performances at children’s hospitals and nursing homes. Eventually, Jessica took her talents to PBS, performing concert specials for the network alongside a relentless international touring schedule. Sharing stages with some of the most iconic names in the business (Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Loretta Lynn, ZZ Top, Richard Marx, among others), her dynamic, high-energy performances showcasing her powerful voice and instrumental talents playing piano, guitar, harmonica, and drums have garnered rave reviews from critics worldwide while building a loyal global fan base.
Jessica’s enthusiasm for giving back was noticed in 2020, when she was employed by the United States Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs as a consultant to their American Voices program and a member of American Music Abroad, which has her traveling to countries across the globe as an ambassador for the United States, spreading her nation’s music and culture. With such a successful program, she was given the honor to expand her role and teach a course for the government’s international music academies that she created called — “Tips & Tricks for The Independent Musician” — ensuring that young musicians across the globe have equal opportunities in the music industry. She recently returned from Asia with the program and will soon be traveling to Nigeria to continue in her education efforts.
Besides her educational outreach, she has continued using her vocal chops to support organizations like Armed Forces Entertainment and Toys for Tots, the latter of which she partners with for her annual Christmas tour: A Very Merry Classic Christmas. The show features the talents of local musicians and dancers of the cities she stops in, truly living and breathing her philosophy of providing chances for all young musicians and artists. On November 22, she will release a 4-song live EP of tracks from the show, with all proceeds from the project going to further support Toys for Tots.
