My official lyric video for “More Than Ever” from the album Nectalux is now live.

This song is my love letter to humanity.

It’s about what connects us underneath everything that divides us — the simple truth that we’re all here, living this moment together, and what we choose to do with it.

I chose to release this lyric video in alignment with Earth Day as an offering — a moment of reflection, a reminder to slow down, be gentle with each other, and care for this beautiful planet we get to share.

“More Than Ever” holds both heaviness and hope — acknowledging what hurts, what feels fractured, and what feels overwhelming, while still reaching toward something more unified, more compassionate, and more human. We’re being called to pay attention, and to choose how we show up for each other and the world we share.

If this song resonates with you, I hope you’ll carry it with you, and share it with someone you love.

Thank you for listening.

MORE THAN EVER

I’m deeply grateful to be featured in the ninth issue of The Catskiller, centered around the theme “Seeing Light in the Darkness.”

This edition includes selected pages from my Nectalux album booklet in print, along with a feature of my single, “Until Daylight,” on The Catskiller’s social media. It’s an honor to be included among so many artists and creators connected to the Catskill region.

Nectalux has always meant more to me than just a body of music. I’ve defined it as: A living embodiment of overcoming a period of darkness or death, stepping fully into the light, and allowing life’s blessings to flow consistently and freely over oneself.

Because of that, being included in an issue with a theme so closely aligned to that meaning feels incredibly significant—almost like seeing the work reflected back to me through another lens.

There’s something powerful about watching parts of Nectalux exist outside of myself. Seeing the definition of the project paired with the honey-dripping imagery album art pages in print is something I’ll always hold close.

Viewing the Feature

If you’d like to explore the issue, print copies are available for free throughout the Catskills, or via digital subscription here:

Thank you to The Catskiller for the feature, and for the care and creativity put into this issue.

Hi everyone,

It’s been a long winter.

February always feels like a threshold — not quite the beginning of the year anymore, but not fully in motion either. We just stepped into the Year of the Fire Horse on 2/17, and we’re deep in eclipse season, during Pisces season and Mercury Retrograde. So much is shifting on the daily, and it feels like the perfect time to pause, reflect, and notice what’s quietly emerging.

A year ago around this time, I was deep in the early stages of the album Nectalux. It’s strange and beautiful to think about how much can change in a year. The music has continued to unfold in ways I didn’t originally plan. Some things are taking longer. Some ideas are evolving. I’m starting to see this whole season less as a single release moment and more like a slow waterfall — one that continues to reveal itself over time.

At the root of Nectalux was a piece called Pristine — a transmission that poured through me during a somatic ritual. It came before the songs. It came before the themes. It was the spark. I first shared it quietly on my Substack —  https://intuitionink.substack.com/ — where it continues to live if you feel called to receive it. 

Along the way, I’ve also been writing more personally over on Substack — sharing cosmic reflections, tarot insights, spiritual work, and other pieces that are like a trip into my deeper mind.

And quietly… something new has been forming.

Thank you for being here, for witnessing this journey, and for stepping into the flow with me. The Year of the Fire Horse feels like a time to ignite new beginnings — and I can’t wait to share what’s quietly forming next.

With love,
Jennifer

Hi everyone, and happy December!

I just uploaded a new VLOG to my YouTube channel! It’s a post-shoot, journal-style commentary where I reflect on the making of the lyric video for my single I (Eye) I (Eye), from my album, Nectalux. I also included some uncut BTS footage at the end.

Tune in, subscribe, and stay tuned— there’s more to come!

Love,
Jenn

Surprise! I just added gift card options to the store — something many of you have asked for, and the timing feels perfect.

Whether you want to share my music, merch, or both, gift cards make it easy to spread a little joy and share the gift of music. They’re great for the holidays, birthdays, or whenever you want to treat someone to a piece of this world we’re building together.The best part is that there are options for every price point, with no expiration date, so you can choose the moment and tier that feel right for you.

Simple, flexible, and thoughtful — I’m really excited to finally offer them.
And just wait until you see the designs I’ve been cooking!! I can’t wait for the merchandise and physical albums to drop.

Thank you for supporting me and for continuing to make all of this possible. 💛

Wow. Almost a week has passed since Nectalux officially released on 11/14, and I’m still taking in all the love that’s been pouring in. I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for everyone who has streamed the album, shared it, messaged me, or simply taken a moment to sit with the music. Seeing your reactions and hearing what the songs mean to you has been genuinely heart-filling. Thank you for showing up the way you have. 💛

To everyone who bought the digital album — thank you so, so much. Hearing how much you’ve been loving the bonus visuals and extras has been such a joy. I poured a lot into that piece of the album, and it means everything that you’ve embraced them the way you have.

This album was such a vulnerable, transformative project for me, and releasing it into the world felt like opening a door to a new chapter. Knowing that it’s connecting with you makes every late night and every moment of pressure and friction worth it. Thank you for taking this gem into your hearts with the same care and love I poured into it.

Finishing touches are being made on the CDs and vinyl, and I can’t WAIT to post them to the store very soon!

There’s a world behind every note, every texture, every shimmer of light in Nectalux.

The first episode of my BTS VLOG invites you inside that world — from the cover shoot to the moments that sparked these songs. Watch, wander through the process with me, and see how this album came to life before it arrives on 11.14.25.

🎥 Step inside here:

It’s finally happening.

My new album, Nectalux, arrives November 14, 2025 — and I couldn’t be more excited (and maybe a little emotional) to share it with you!!!

This collection of songs has been slowly blooming over the past year — reflections of past versions of myself that yearned for expression in all things: love, pain, confusion, existential wonder, and the strange sweetness that comes from change.

Nectalux is a word I made up (stay tuned for a longer description + link!) to describe that feeling when something beautiful glows from the inside out — but only after an ego death or profound ending. That’s the world I tried to capture in sound: a sonic snapshot of many sides of me, both as an individual and as an artist.

Every note, every lyric, every texture and harmony carries a piece of my heart. I poured so much of myself into this album — the joy, the ache, the wonder — and my hope is that when you listen, you’re reminded of that light within yourself, too.

So mark your calendars: 11.14.25
and get ready for
Nectalux.

With love always,
Jenn 💜
