Nashville, TN — November 6, 2024 —Indie-folk artist Jackie Minton releases her new album Sagesse, a striking anthem melding folk, indie-rock, and soft-punk influences. Produced by Zach Sandquist, this first track off the record “Understand” invites listeners into a raw, reflective exploration of loss and self-realization. Minton’s poignant lyrics and victorious production are aimed at anyone who’s faced the departure of someone important in their life.
“Sometimes people walk out of your life,” says Minton. “Writing ‘Understand’ was how I processed someone walking out of mine.” The song’s bold approach draws on the spirit of her folk roots, while stepping forward with indie-rock energy. It recalls the risk-taking moments of artists like Bob Dylan at Newport, bridging Minton’s past and future work.
Jackie Minton has long traversed the boundary between the sacred and the secular. Her storytelling draws from timeless literary themes, yet her voice is uniquely her own, merging the past and present in a way few artists achieve. Growing up in Texas, Minton found her musical footing early, gaining a following with her 2016 EP Searching for Now. Her full-length album Earnest Voice in 2021 brought her to national attention, even earning her a spot as an opener on Dermot Kennedy’s 2022 U.S. tour.
Her latest work is a continuation of the themes explored in her 2023 EP Genesis, but with an invigorated edge that signals a new chapter. Sagesse, titled after the French word for wisdom, reflects Minton’s journey and the depth she’s gained from her experiences abroad. With its resonant storytelling, Sagesse promises to be an album that stays with listeners long after the final note.
Jackie Minton’s album Sagesse is now available on all streaming platforms.
