Adelaide-hailing singer-songwriter Jen Lush has certainly made an impact within the music industry. Taking the blueprint of a folk song, Lush's music features many different musical inspirations that make her music refreshing and unique. Jen and her stellar band have also impressed in a live setting too. She's appeared at festivals and venues throughout SA, Victoria, NSW, WA and Tasmania.


Her latest offering comes in the form of single "Lovers Parting, Dawn" which has been based of a poem by Kevin Brophy. Featuring dynamic drums, irresistible guitar parts and infectious vocal lines, the track is sure to pick you up and leave you wanting more. Accompanying is an immersive music video.


Brophy, who wrote the poem, explains: “I began writing this poem in Paris in 2019. The UNESCO City of Literature, Heidelberg, invited six Australian poets to respond to the traditional German form of the Tagelied or 'Dawn Song', a three-part poem relating the plight of lovers having to part at dawn under an onlooker's eye. This beautiful music made by Jen Lush and her musicians takes up the lament of lovers parting. Its tone and feeling arose from my own distance from home; from my talks with asylum seekers and homeless people on the streets of Paris; and from my then still recent task of having to compose the words to be inscribed on my parents' gravestone. They died within months of each other in 2017.”


With an album on the horizon, 2023 is looking incredibly bright for Jen Lush.
