Good Tension by Carrie Jennings

Good tension happens when there is a force stretching us for our benefit. It generates expansion, vitality, and change. Good tension was the driving force behind the creation of this music, and it is the intended effect of listening to it. Each song explores a different representation of ‘good tension,’ whether that is embracing the pain of transformation (’Bothered’), honoring the love we deserve, even after being forgotten (’Adored’), holding both profound love and fear of loss in our hearts (’Maybe’), or recognizing the weight of our own agency (’Funny’).

Her music is powerful and sultry, combining soulful horn lines, potent lyrics, and indie singer-songwriter aesthetics. Her performances are both tender and bold, with spellbinding vocals, lush instrumentals, and endearing stage banter. She is a storyteller and groove maker inviting people together to explore the depths of our human experience through song.
