“Jean’s ability to weave poignant storytelling with dynamic melodies is truly unparalleled. ‘Another Crying Christmas’ is a testament to her prowess as a singer-songwriter and her skill in evoking deep emotions,” says the GetMusic.News curation team.

Her band, The Male Order Brides, plays a crucial role in crafting the soundscape that defines “Another Crying Christmas.” This track features solid performances from members like Zack Humphrey from Megafauna on drums and John Stuart from Dead Sailor Girls on backing vocals and percussion. The inclusion of varied talent consolidates the song’s 80’s rock essence and indie melodic flair, making it a treat for listeners who appreciate rich, nuanced music.

Artists like Blondie and The Bangles who have carved out their own niches in the same genres can see kindred spirits in Jean’s musical journey. However, Jean brings her own unique flavour to the table, augmented by her OG punk rock roots.
