The Adventures of Jodelle



Since the release of her last record The Adventures of Jodelle, Jodelle has been busy touring the world performing her own music and backing other artists as a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. Her travels have taken her to many television and radio stations, prestigious venues and festivals all across North America and Europe. She even performed at a women's prison and played for a NAKED audience yes, you read that right definitely a couple experiences for the bucket list. This time of travel and collaboration led to period of personal and artistic growth that has left her happier than ever. Putting the past behind her and celebrating life one step at a time has taken Jodelle's sound to a brighter, poppier, richer place A transformation that pop-rock fans will truly appreciate. The story of her new EP, Better Than OK, unfolds with powerful and layered vocals, daring trumpets, beautiful string arrangements, and the lush, driving piano for which Jodelle is known. On Better Than OK, Jodelle moves fearlessly from belting Theres no way in hell Im gonna bend on Queen of Crazy to revealing I took a risk, you crossed the line, you broke my heart one too many times on the title track. Jodelle's lyrics are full of life and easy to connect to. They come across simpler, more vulnerable than on her previous works: Ive learned to be ok with the way I write. These lyrics are things Id say in conversation, she says. Thats good news for us. Conversational lyrics plus catchy melodies equal an album of songs you'll find yourself singing along to. Inspired by life, love, satisfaction and bravery, these songs will leave you feeling Better Than OK. Better Than OK was produced by Chris Badami at Portrait Recording Studios in New Jersey.
