Our Take

Cassandra Jenkins' latest release, My Light / My Destroyer, is a mesmerising journey through the depths of introspection and self-discovery. With haunting melodies and ethereal vocals, Jenkins masterfully weaves a tapestry of emotion that is both captivating and profound.

The album opens with the dreamy "Michelangelo", setting the tone for the rest of the record with its lush instrumentation and poetic lyrics. Jenkins' voice is like a siren's call, drawing listeners in and holding them captive until the very last note.

Tracks like "Hard Drive" and "Crosshairs" showcase Jenkins' versatility as a songwriter, effortlessly blending elements of folk, pop and indie rock to create a sound that is uniquely her own. The result is a collection of songs that are at once introspective and anthemic, intimate and expansive.

But it's on the album's title track where Jenkins truly shines. With its sparse arrangement and hauntingly beautiful vocals, "My Light / My Destroyer" is a poignant meditation on the duality of human nature. Jenkins' lyrics are both raw and poetic, exploring themes of love, loss and redemption with a depth and complexity that is truly remarkable.

In short, My Light / My Destroyer is a stunning achievement from an artist who continues to push the boundaries of her craft. Cassandra Jenkins has created a masterpiece that is both timeless and of-the-moment, solidifying her status as one of the most exciting voices in music today. Don't miss out on this album - it's a journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist

Cassandra Jenkins

Introducing the delightful songbird, Cassandra Jenkins - a New York-based artist whose dreamy, folk-infused melodies are as enchanting as a fairy-tale forest at dusk. With a voice that could soothe even the most restless souls, Jenkins has been making waves in the indie music scene, bringing a fresh and ethereal sound that feels both nostalgic and thoroughly modern. Hailing from a musical family (her uncle is none other than the legendary Mick Jones of The Clash), Jenkins has music in her blood. Her debut album, "Play Till You Win", released in 2017, was a mesmerising journey through shimmering melodies and evocative lyrics, showcasing Jenkins' unique blend of folk, pop, and indie sensibilities. But it was her 2021 release, "An Overview on Phenomenal Nature", that truly cemented Jenkins as a force to be reckoned with. Inspired by her time spent in the desolate landscapes of Joshua Tree, the album is a sonic exploration of love, loss, and the intricacies of being human. With its hauntingly beautiful soundscapes and poetic lyricism, "An Overview on Phenomenal Nature" is a masterclass in storytelling through song. Not one to be confined by genre or expectations, Cassandra Jenkins is a true original in a sea of imitators. With her enchanting melodies and heartfelt lyrics, she has carved out a niche all her own, capturing the hearts of critics and fans alike. Keep an eye on this rising star - her music is like a breath of fresh air in a sometimes stale industry.
