NEW SINGLE ‘HEART LIKE A HOUSE’

New Zealand born and Melbourne based award-winning artist Jenny Mitchell is excited to unveil plans for the release of her fourth album ‘Forest House’ scheduled for May 16, featuring her new single ‘Heart Like A House’, out now.
Recorded in Pirinoa, ‘Forest House’ was created with ARIA and Golden Guitar award-winning producer Matt Fell at the helm. The 12 track album features Jenny’s previous singles ‘Where The Water’s Cold’, ‘Square & Plain’ and the heartwarming ‘Sister’ (featuring her sisters, The Mitchell Twins) while listeners will find grit in ‘Wives Who Wait’ and insight into Jenny’s country roots in ‘No Cash, No Meal’.
Having created a set of songs that is intimate, emotional, heartbreaking and uplifting, Jenny was determined that her storytelling would reach a new level of quality and consistency on this release. Jenny explains, “Forest House is an album of songs that reflect everything that happens within the four walls of a house. The new beginnings, the leaving. The opening, closing or slamming of doors. The good, the bad, the nostalgic and everything in between. Produced by Matt Fell, Forest House was absolutely the best and most connected recording experience I’ve ever had. I spent months searching for a house that we (the band, my sisters, Dad and I) could all stay in and somewhere that would fit a DIY studio. I ended up finding the perfect spot, bunk beds and all, in rural Wairarapa in New Zealand and we spent a week there together, surrounded by beautiful birds and bush, bringing these songs to life.”
On her new single, described as the forthcoming album’s centrepiece, Jenny goes on to say, “Heart Like A House is inspired by how important it is to me to build a life in music that is welcoming and safe for my band and my team – which has largely been influenced by watching other artists carve their own paths that don’t necessarily fit the mainstream industry model. It’s also really influenced by my upbringing, in a family who have always kept welcoming and hosting as a core value.”
Jenny will celebrate the release of ‘Forest House’ with a run of Australian headline tour dates in July, with shows in Canberra, Bathurst, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Central Coast and Newcastle, with tickets on sale Tuesday 15 April.

The NZ Best Country Artist winner and two-time Golden Guitar nominee is currently on the road nationally opening for Kasey Chambers and is scheduled to perform at the Gympie Music Muster in August following the conclusion of her album tour.
“A musical journey told with depth & emotion, shared with beautiful musicians, heartfelt production and strong family connection.
‘Forest House’ is everything I love about Jenny Mitchell.”
