Time and again, Whoa Dakota frontwoman and songwriter Jessica Ott has turned to danceable R&B-influenced pop as a medium for nuanced discussion of complex emotional territory. Sometimes, though, another sonic setting is more appropriate for the lyrics that come out.
Enter Rodeo Glow, Ott’s gentle folk-centric project with partner Collin Gundry. Today, we’re very pleased to premiere “I Don’t Like Watching the News,” a melancholy tune with a note of hope at the core. The piece focuses on how, when things get as overwhelming as they frequently have in the past year, it’s great to have someone in your life you can rely on for emotional support.
