Price To Pay · from Between The Head & The Heart
The music.
Fifteen years, two languages, one voice. From the new EP to the four songs she wrote in Dutch, and every record in between.
Time Machine
A song about wanting to go back, not to change a thing, only to see it again.
Written and sung from her parents' side of the story, looking back at a good life together and finding it was made of very ordinary days. Music and lyrics by Jennifer Ewbank, produced by Nick Jongejan, with additional production by Lukaz.
Between The Head & The Heart
Six songs, one EP
They came out one at a time across two years, and were never meant to stay apart. Written from her own songbook and produced independently by Lukaz, Gordon Groothedde and Nick Jongejan, with a band in the room rather than a laptop on a desk.
Sharper, funnier, and finished with apologising for wanting the whole thing. It is the most confident writing of her career.
Independent, and a band in the room.
Six songs released one at a time through 2025 and 2026, and gathered on 31 July 2026 into Between The Head & The Heart. Shown here in her running order. One of the six, Why Would Anyone Fight a Butterfly, was written for War Child.
Four songs in her own language.
Jennifer writes in English. Four times she has not, across eleven years. This is the country that heard them first, so they sit near the top here.
In Zoveel Gelijk
The earliest of the four, from the years between the debut album and the return to her own writing.
Vuur
Released a year later, and the second time she chose to write and sing in Dutch.
Tegenwicht
Written in the wake of her run to the final of Better Than Ever on RTL 4, and the one that got the airplay.
De Wereld
The most recent, and the one that put her English and Dutch sides side by side on national radio.
Songs made with other people.
Sailing was the first song by an outside writer ever to appear on a Douwe Bob album. Jennifer wrote it. Koningslied put her among around fifty Dutch artists at Ahoy Rotterdam for the inauguration, and Wereldwijd Orkest was a collective single under Vince Mendoza with the Metropole Orkest.
Footprints, and the way back.
Written with Femke Weidema and Sander de Groot, recorded in Nashville, and gathered into the Footprints EP. This is where the country writing began in earnest.
Footprints
Seven songs, two of them duets, released one at a time between 2021 and 2024 and then gathered together. Sailing, with Douwe Bob, sits on it too. Lighthouse is a duet with her father.
The years in between.
Between the debut and the return to her own writing, a handful of singles kept the voice in the room. Two of them are the country standards she grew up on.
Where the voice came from.
The early catalogue: a debut album released on 27 October 2011 that was mostly written by others, though the title track was not, the covers that found their own audience, and the song that has now passed three million streams.
