Louisiana-hailing, Nashville-based talent Jess Kerber’s newest offering “Next To You,” settles around us with a rich and comforting sense of nostalgia. Rooted in understated electronic sensibilities and intricate fingerpicked patterns, the hazy track builds quietly but steadily, framed by confidence and elegance.
With echoing vocals that move seamlessly from a melodic lilt to a gentle coo and then a powerful howl, the hypnotic anthem traverses an expanse of energies and moods as it reflects upon how our dreams tell us things we don’t know about ourselves.
Born in Kerber’s childhood bedroom, the layered production brings her love for sonic experimentation together with her intimate, poetic songwriting style. Showcasing her signature Americana-folk tinges alongside polished electronic twinges to captivate us from beginning to end.
Having begun her musical journey aged 13, Kerber’s mix of luscious soundscapes and grounding lyrics continues to set her up as a promising talent in modern folk and Americana, nudging us through compelling tales of love, loss, and longing with plenty of charm and grace.
