Jen Lane is back with a guitar in hand, a notebook full of songs, and a perspective that can only be forged by time.

After stepping away from the stage for nine years to focus on her most demanding and rewarding role yet—raising her family as a full-time mother—the Western Canadian Music Award-nominated singer-songwriter, has returned to her musical roots. For nearly a decade, Jen traded late-night festival sets for early-morning wake-up calls, grounding herself in the beautiful, chaotic rhythm of motherhood.

But the music never truly left. Today, she returns to the spotlight not as a different artist, but as a deeper one. Her new material blends the raw, soulful storytelling that first captured audiences with a profound, newfound maturity. Jen’s latest songs reflect the patience, grit, and fierce love developed over her years at home, offering a compelling look at life, identity, and the power of reclamation. She is living proof that passions don’t expire—they just wait for the perfect moment to sing again.

10 years ago Jen lane released the critically acclaimed and WCMA nominated album,“For the Night”, and the content is just as relevant today as it was then. The songs were inspired by feelings of isolation, a sad, hard world, and the realization that we are all living together on this tiny planet in a vast universe.
The album combines some seriously catchy songs with a laid-back cool that evokes Lucinda Williams and a pure, wistful voice that at times recalls Edie Brickell.  The arrangements are classic country, and the production has a vintage feel, thanks, in part, to a near-analogue recording process.

The track “Today I Lost My Mind” speaks volumes to the way humanity is feeling right now but is delivered in a fun yet heartfelt way. The chorus lyrics, “lately I just wanna take you to a show”, remind us all of how we are yearning for the normal we knew just 7 months ago.

“I think we’re all a little out of our mind during this incredibly strange time” says Lane. “It’s really a time that we have to conquer with love, patience and understanding. We can all learn a lot from each other. We don’t have to be so divided. No matter what, this affects everyone, everywhere, and it’s ok to lose your mind sometimes.”

This single gives us a little something to enjoy while Jen is creating music for a new album to be released in 2021.

Jen Lane’s last album, “This Life of Mine”, produced 8 successful singles including “Shoe“, “Movin On“, “This Life of Mine“, “My Man“, “Never Try To Love You”, “Happy”, “Waitin For You”, and “Fools”. Lane was nominated for a 2017 Western Canadian Music Award for Roots Solo Artist of the Year, and was also nominated for a Saskatchewan Country Music Award
for Roots Artist of the Year in 2018 and 2019.

Summertime is here, love is in the air, and there’s no better time for a new single from Saskatoon’s Jen Lane. After beginning an affair with listening to her favourite music on vinyl, Jen received Big Star’s No.1 record as a gift. The lyrics and music to the track “Thirteen” were incredibly inspiring to her as her and her partner share an affinity to lucky #13. The song took her back to her first flirtations with the heart and the powerful memories that are created by summer love. Let her new single be your soundtrack to a summer of love and memories that last forever.
