Her face has been slapped over some of the nation’s prime publications from USA Today to a spread in FHM which revealed the girl’s killer legs to her lofty talent. That was nearly five years ago and singer-songwriter Jennifer Hanson is still breaking into the music scene at her own speed.
The LA area native said she’s had many influences growing up and it’s taken her awhile to feel comfortable in her own skin.
It seems Hanson has finally found her niche. As the silent partner to several hit country songs fronted by today’s big names, Hanson has written No. 1 singles for other artists as well as releasing her own beats that are destined to be just as successful.
“Joyride,” the latest release from the photogenic country-pop bombshell, has the buoyancy and color of most country songs. However, it has the edge of a cooped-up small-town girl that is dying to go burn some rubber, make a couple mistakes and use the steering wheel as a drum set while doing 80 down Ventura Boulevard.
Hanson has a line that says it all for this youthful generation’s stance: “Lately I’ve been thinking’/Which could be a dangerous thing/So let’s drive…” The song – like its artist – is a maverick, it’s young and offers a live-by-the-seat-of-your-pants attitude that has been stuffed up by conservative female country artists as of late.
With vocal comparisons to Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks, Hanson has got some big shoes to fill and even though she takes her time in doing so, Jennifer Hanson’s feet are growing by the day.
