CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED SOLO ALBUM TO LOVE IS TO LIVE OUT NOW VIA ARTS & CRAFTS

Songwriter, singer, and multi-disciplinary artist Jehnny Beth has released a Planningtorock electronic remix of her single “Flower”. The track is originally taken from Jehnny Beth’s critically-acclaimed debut solo album, To Love Is To Live, out now via Arts & Crafts.

The pulsating electro remix sees Planningtorock, who has remixed tracks for the likes of Lady Gaga, Perfume Genius, and Robyn, the simmering, sensual track into a completely different sonic territory. “I was very touched when Jehnny asked me to make this remix,” Planningtorock said. “Her voice is a force of nature, full of power and brilliant attitude. It was such a pleasure to make this track.” Written about a pole dancer at notorious strip club Jumbo’s Clown Room in Los Angeles, “Flower” details the complicated depths of sexuality tangled in a fever dream reverie of desire and loss.

Best known as the charismatic lead singer and co-writer of UK band Savages, who received Mercury Prize nominations for both of their now-classic two albums Silence Yourself (2013) and Adore Life (2016), Jehnny Beth’s voice, lyrical perspective, and incredible live performances have captivated audiences since the early Aughts. But it’s in To Love Is To Live that Jehnny Beth truly steps into - and claims - the spotlight.  The album is a sonic tour de force, a dark cinematic meditation on the strange business of being alive. Throughout the record, she explores the deepest reaches of her creative consciousness...wrapped in a whirlwind of sounds. Indeed, in accessing those darkest and least comfortable parts of herself, Jehnny Beth has created a piece of work that is stunningly cathartic, fiercely abrasive, delicately exposed, and rich for discourse.

PRAISE FOR TO LOVE IS TO LIVE

"Beth’s debut solo album, To Love Is To Live, is a cathartic blast of beauty and darkness that exemplifies everything you would expect from this dynamic visionary." - Northern Transmissions

“...fuelled by an invigorating conviction and helmed by an artist with the gravitational pull to make it all align.” Exclaim! 

“Nothing is out of bounds on ‘TO LOVE IS TO LIVE’, a timelessly raw and real ride through this thing called life.” - NME 4*

"’To Love Is To Live’ is a restless album that thrives on contrast: from delicate piano ballads to thrashing metal…Beth’s ability to glide between vulnerability and intimidation is unnerving, and adds more shades of grey to a performer who’s previously operated in black and white." - Observer 4*

Songwriter, singer, and author Jehnny Beth has teamed up French electronic artist Rone for a hypnotic remix of her stunning new single “French Countryside”. The track follows Rone’s recent performance on Jehnny’s live and chat TV programme ECHOES, with dance collective (LA) Horde. 

“This is the song that caused me the most issues,” says Jehnny. “Up until the last week of mixing we didn’t have a version I was happy with, but I am very proud of it now. I almost didn’t put it on the record because it is so close to the bone it almost feels too self indulgent, but it was my intention to write a song that felt more vulnerable than anything I had ever written before.”

To Love Is To Live was recorded in Los Angeles, London, and Paris, and features a number of collaborators, including producers Flood, Atticus Ross, and longtime co-creator Johnny Hostile. It also features guest turns from The xx’s Romy Madley Croft, actor Cillian Murphy, and IDLES’ Joe Talbot.  

Jehnny also released her debut collection of short stories, Crimes Against Love Memories (C.A.L.M), alongside a limited edition art book of photographs taken by Johnny Hostile on 9th July 2020 via White Rabbit. Both books are designed by Brian Roettinger from Willo Perron studio. A manifesto in the form of erotic monologues and dialogues, set to arouse and enlighten, Beth’s stories are punctuated by Hostile’s intimate photographs: they are the seeds from which her stories grew.

Songwriter, singer, and author Jehnny Beth has released the emotionally stirring video for her vulnerable new single “French Countryside”. The raw and haunting video was directed by Johnny Hostile and filmed at their studio in France. The track, written with Romy Madley Croft and Johnny Hostile, is taken from her critically-acclaimed debut solo album To Love Is To Live, which came out last year via Arts & Crafts.

‘This is the song that caused me the most issues. Up until the last week of mixing we didn’t have a version I was happy with, but I am very proud of it now. I almost didn’t put it on the record because it is so close to the bone it almost feels too self indulgent, but it was my intention to write a song that felt more vulnerable than anything I had ever written before’ Jehnny said of the track. ‘Romy was a huge influence for me to be able to do that. It’s a promise song, I wrote the verses on a plane as I was convinced it was going to crash. I was making promises to myself about what I was going to do differently if I survived. Death has been very present in my mind during the process of writing this record. It all started around Bowie’s death.’

Romy adds, “She played me the beginning lines and they were so instantly visual and different to anything I'd heard her say before, it was instantly a beautiful place to write from and explore.” She continues “It felt like her guard was dropping for a moment and she was inviting the listener in to get to know her vulnerable side, but with a sense that this invitation wouldn't last for very long. Hearing the album version made me cry because it felt like it was my friend Camille, as I know her, a window behind the Jehnny Beth that the world sees”
