New Release: Same Old Songs
Out now, available digitally worldwide. (Release date: 26th of July)
Goulburn Valley talent Jessica Lorraine announces new single Same Old Songs, an open hearted alt-country-folk ballad exploring themes of mental health and self reflection.
Following March single release ‘Thinking of You’, Same Old Songs will draw you further into the Jessica Lorraine sonic landscape with lucious instrumentation produced by Joshua Barber (Gretta Ray, Gotye), featuring moody guitar & pedal steel from Matt Dixon (The Teskey Brothers, Gretta Ziller), mixed by Robert Muinos (Didirri, Little May) and mastered by John Davis (Haim, Lana Del Rey).
On the song, Jessica says “I wrote Same Old Songs during a time that I was in an indecisive limbo, days sort of washed into each other, and despite having time and space to think, I struggled to reflect and untangle all the thoughts that had become knotted up in my mind over time. This song is for my fellow overthinkers, writing this song was one of the first steps on a journey for me, of learning to give myself more grace and letting go of having everything figured out. I wanted to release it in the hopes that it connects and can help someone else who’s struggling with that mental battle.”
“Scorching vocal with just the right amount of percussion tempered with gentle reverb. Delectable and powerful, my favourite combo. Jessica is a voice and name you'll want to know.” - Kath Devaney, ABC Country.
“Oof, this is a heart pulveriser. Beautiful song, delivered warmly and powerfully. Thanks JL!” - Steph Hughes, Triple J.

Sparked by self expression and discovery, Jessica’s heart-on-sleeve songwriting and arresting, earthy-rich vocals will take you on a journey of vulnerability in every song.
An instinct to write poems & lyrics at a young age grew into a passion for songwriting and performance, learning how to play guitar using Youtube tutorials, Jessica spent years practicing alone in her room before starting out playing shows at local coffee shops and fundraising events. Steadily building her live music experience over the years to come, she created a versatile solo show and made a full-time career singing at pub, clubs, weddings, festivals, markets and events all around Victoria and beyond. Garnering a glowing reputation wherever she goes, Jessica captivates audiences with her original songs and storytelling, cover stylings, live looping and multi-instrumental show.
With a history of performing on stages such as Federation Square Melbourne (2018), The National Piano Awards (2018), Festival of Sails Geelong Main Stage (2019), Gather Festival Mt Beauty (2020) and headlining ‘For The Love of Ales’ festival in Longwood (2021), Jessica is set to have a strong 2023 with a debut album on the way.
To date, Jessica has released seven singles digitally, amassing over 25,000 streams on Spotify alone. Her songwriting has been recognised as a semi-finalist in Listen Up Music’s ‘The Songwriting Prize’ Melbourne in 2019 (Find Your Truth), 2021 (Weightless) and again this year in 2023 with unreleased song ‘Winding Roads’.
