Singer-Songwriter Jenn Nucum’s song ‘Get Better’ a song inspired by isolation and loneliness, caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic. It was written during Toronto’s first major lockdown in March 2020, whilst reflecting, at the micro-level, on the neighborhood the artist lives in.
As much as the track is about loneliness, it elicits the feeling of desiring to get better — not in the sense of the obvious physiological threat of serious illness we’ve all been faced with, but to get better as people; to practice compassion for ourselves, for others, and to look out for each other collectively.
The artist shares, ‘ I produced this EP myself and it was my first time really trusting my instincts from start to finish. It was a bit daunting to know that I had full creative control; the process of making this EP led me to wrestle with my inner demons and inner critic more than any other project thus far. What I want for people to take away from this album is that it’s about a time in our shared history of reflection and revelation and that it can be referenced as a catalyst for self-improvement, advocating for social justice, and being sincere and considerate about collective wellbeing’.
You can listen to the new single across platforms. The song comes from my EP, also titled Get Better.
