Jen Mize & The Rough N' Tumble vous invite à oser dans leur dernier single, "Hail Mary"

L’artiste australienne Jen Mize nous présente son dernier titre, « Hail Mary », sorti le 22 février 2024.

Both boldly bodacious and brazenly bad-ass, brand new combo Jen Mize & The Rough N’ Tumble know how to bring the party. Mize’s sultry vocals and the eight-piece outfit’s rollicking good-time vibes and unquenchable energy pack enough punch to rock even the firmest of foundations!

Having already proved themselves as a formidable live force, as their eponymous debut album shows they can craft one hell of a funky racket in the studio as well.
The authentic blend of country, blues, soul and old-school rock – paired with Mize’s powerful, expressive voice – transferring to tape perfectly, saw early singles from the release dominating airwaves and pricking ears all around the country.

But the band’s confident and charismatic front-woman hasn’t always been found strutting her stuff out the front of a rip-roaring rock band like The Rough N’ Tumble, and though sometimes when an artist makes such a seismic sonic shift it can come across as contrived or inauthentic, in the case of Mize forming The Rough N’ Tumble the new louder aesthetic came together naturally because it’s always been a part of her musical armoury.

« I was always a massive fan of Bonnie Raitt, I especially love her first three albums – so those funky 70’s blues… the tongue-and-cheek approach to female sexuality – I grew up listening to that.’

“Then The Black Crowes came along, I was also deeply into Tom Petty – and still am. I was still in my teens when Shake Your Money Maker came out and then Tom Petty’s Wildflowers. Being a teen in the ‘90s, I loved records like Counting Crows’ August And Everything After and Sheryl Crow’s Tuesday Night Music Club. »

“If you combine my Mum’s love of folk and my Dad’s love of classic rock and renegade country – all the Bonnie Raitt & Janis Joplin – and throw in those ‘90s singer-songwriter/alt-country/Southern rock mix, then suddenly The Rough N’ Tumble doesn’t seem that much of a stretch – that’s what I listen to.”

In assembling The Rough N’ Tumble Mize organically pulled together a group of musicians already in her orbit from her time on the Australian scene – namely Jeremy Edwards, Mitch Power, Zac Watson, Andy Shrav, Steve Fearnley, Tristan Rogers and Matt Luff- with each member chosen as much for their temperament and relatability as their indubitable musical acumen.

La chanson « Hail Mary » évoque la prise de risques et le désir de vivre pleinement malgré les obstacles.
Les paroles expriment la volonté de sortir de sa zone de confort, d’ignorer les conseils négatifs et de se lancer dans l’inconnu.
C’est un hymne à la persévérance, à l’audace et à la recherche de renouveau.

Ayant fait sensation à la fois lors de leurs concerts et de leur premier album avec leur son qui mélange magnifiquement les sons country et blues/roots avec une forte touche de funk et de soul ajoutée au mix – « Hail Mary » parle de prendre des risques, sortir sur un rebord et faire le choix en conscience de vivre pleinement sa vie sans filet de sécurité.

« Hail Mary » consiste à atteindre un point de votre vie où risquer l’échec est une bien meilleure option que de simplement jouer la sécurité… avoir le courage, le courage et le courage de se lancer !
