Between The
Head & The Heart
Six songs that arrived one at a time across two years. They were never meant to stay apart. This is the EP they belong to.
Gordon Groothedde
Nick Jongejan
The songs, in her running order.
- 1 Scary Movie Mixed signals and modern romance, told with a straight face and a Halloween grin. ▶
- 2 Real Deal No filters, no games, no fine print. The loudest thing here. ▶
- 3 Why Would Anyone Fight A Butterfly Written for War Child. The quietest song on the EP and the one with the most weight behind it. ▶
- 4 Between The Head & The Heart The title track, and the argument the EP is named for. ▶
- 5 Price To Pay Walking away from someone who was never going to change, and not waiting to be asked twice. ▶
- 6 One Step At A Time The first song out and the manifesto of the whole thing: chasing something despite the fear of it. Written with Douwe Bob and Gordon Groothedde. ▶

Where music and lyrics share a column, they were written together by the same people.
Played by people, in a room.
What happens when you stop keeping them to yourself.
For years Jennifer wrote songs and gave most of them away. She wrote for other artists, sang other people's words at other people's weddings, and kept her own songbook in a drawer. Writing Sailing for Douwe Bob, then standing on stage for twenty six nights hearing an audience sing her words back, ended that arrangement.
The songbook is past fifty six now. Six of them became this EP. They came out one at a time, starting with One Step At A Time, which turned out to describe the release plan as accurately as it described the song.
They were made independently, produced by Lukaz, with Gordon Groothedde and Nick Jongejan, with a band in the room rather than a laptop on a desk. Uptempo where the old records were careful. Funny where they were polite. The title is the argument running underneath all six songs: what you know, against what you want.
