Vancouver songwriter Jenny Banai has just released her latest single, “Paper Plain,” off her upcoming sophomore album, “couchwalker”, due out September 17th.

Discussing the track, Banai states, “‘Paper Plain’ is a poetic stream of consciousness exposing my paper-thin human heart and its desire to express love freely, but in reality, my feelings are faded words stuck inside crumpled ideas.

Jenny Banai is an old soul and a child of the nineties, and as such, has inherited both the contemplative wonder and the wardrobe of her parents. She is a fresh and authentic voice who pairs powerhouse vocal abilities with unique and clever pop arrangements. Often garnering comparison to vocalists such as Feist and Jeff Buckley, Banai’s creative influences range from Andy Shauf to Patrick Watson to The Cranberries. She blends jazz, folk, and rock into sophisticated pop music that both celebrates and laments the dynamic of human relationships and the relationship with one’s self and with God.

Banai wrote and performed all of the string parts on “couchwalker”, with the exception of the cello parts which were performed by the acclaimed cellist Peggy Lee. The album was co-produced with drummer Scott Currie and includes upright jazz bassist, Ben Appenheimer.

Banai says that, "’couchwalker’ grew up into an album with the all-too-eager help of heartbreak, uncertainty and questions to do with faith.” Each song embodies a timeless longing of the soul for mutual understanding and deep connection. Alas, throughout Jenny flutters from one couch to the next; from one conversation to the next, feeling wholly affected by the state of the world, of her friends and of her own heart. All the while finding ground in what she believes is true.
