Earthquake Yellow by Jensen McRae

 

A note from Jensen:

hello. on january 8 I wrote a song called "earthquake yellow" because my hometown started burning. I'm awed that the clip I shared of that song has now been viewed more than a million times. because of that, I'm putting the song on bandcamp and donating 100% of the profits to families that have been displaced or are in need due to the eaton fire. and for the first 24 hours, @deadoceans will donate the label share of the profits as well.

buy the song, share with your friends, and take care of yourself. we will be cleaning up and rebuilding for months if not years to come--empathy is a marathon, not a sprint.

I hope this finds you well. more soon. Xo ABOUT JENSEN MCRAE Born and raised in LA, Jensen McRae has studied and made music for most of her life. She attended Grammy Camp in high school and graduated from USC’s Thornton School of Music with a degree in Popular Music. McRae’s debut album, Are You Happy Now?, was written mostly when she was just 21, and explored what she describes as her “musical coming of age.” McRae’s talents as a narrator loom large; Are You Happy Now? navigates identity from its deepest foundations – life as a young, bi-racial Black and Jewish woman – to its most personal musings – do I trust you, do I trust myself. Self-described as “one house down from the girl next door”, McRae has been compared to artists like Tracy Chapman or Phoebe Bridgers, and with good reason. Her voice is dynamic, her melodies are immediate, almost addictive. Most of all, the blunt force of Jensen McRae’s songs is in the stories they tell, and in the ways they invite you to see, feel, and hear yourself within them.
