160: Jillette Johnson

from New Slang Hosted by Thomas Mooney, Jillette Johnson

Send us Fan Mail On Episode 160, I'm joined by singer-songwriter Jillette Johnson. At week's end (Friday, Feb. 12), Johnson will be releasing her forthcoming album, the gleaming It's a Beautiful Day & I Love You. On this new album, Johnson works in a bright and sunny sonic palette into the mix. While she never ventures too far from her piano-laden work, punches of sharp guitar, light '70s pop-inspired harmonies, and upbeat melodies find the now Nashville-based Johnson delivering some of her best, most comfortable work. While she still delves into serious subjects about anxiety, self-destructiveness, pain, and struggle throughout, Johnson's gratitude and acceptance shine brighter offering a resonating message. On this one, we talk about the writing and recording of It's a Beautiful Day & I Love You, the songwriting process in general, mood boards, Air Force Ones, moving to Nashville, and more. This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol. In addition, this episode is sponsored by The Blue Light Live and Hot Damn Coffee.
