Jenny Lewis may have released her fourth solo studio album “On the Line” way back in March this year, but it seems as if the album cycle is still in full swing. Coming off a memorable appearance on The Tonight Show, and in the midst of selling out shows across the globe, Lewis has somehow managed to find enough time to film a video for her pop-rock single “Rabbit Hole.”
Filmed in the familiarly bizarre style of Abso Lutely Productions (Tim & Eric, Nathan for You, Comedy Bang! Bang!), the clip sees Lewis performing the track with a backing live band comprised of bodysuit silhouettes, occasionally choreographing dance moves before revealing themselves to be unexpected familiar faces in the video’s final seconds.
The song comes from Jenny Lewis‘ latest album ‘On The Line’ – available now!
The video is a part of last March’s wordy Jenny Lewis: On the Line Online is a Three-Hour Live Listening Party, Variety Show & Charity Fundraiser, which raised donations for the Los Angeles Women’s Center

Jenny Lewis looked around Room D of the storied Village Recording Studios taking it all in, as she and Jason Bentley reminisced on its rock & roll lore. “Tusk” by Fleetwood Mac was recorded right in that same room, as was “Angie” by the Rolling Stones… and on and on.
For Jenny Lewis to record a live session behind her fourth solo album “On the Line” here made great sense. Her status in LA music history has certainly solidified, as she’s crafted an adored catalogue of music (both solo and work with her former band Rilo Kiley), while carrying the banner of Laurel Canyon artists before her. Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, CSN and others would be proud.
Further cementing her place within the hierarchy of the LA music scene, the players on her new album probably only answer the phone for a select few who call. Ringo Starr, Benmont Tench (founding member of the Heartbreakers), Beck, Don Was, and THE session drummer of all drummers Jim Keltner all contributed their talents for the recording of “On the Line”. The new album definitely has a pedigree that shines, and that magic transcended to her performance in the legendary studio.
On the Line was recorded over a couple years, with the beginning stages going down at another LA music landmark: Capitol Studios. Beck helped out, and producer-of-the-moment Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, The War on Drugs, Kacey Musgraves) also put his golden touch to it. The result is a big, warm rock album. Lewis’ signature wit and thoughtful songwriting about love and excess is sharp throughout, and perfectly exemplified in the catchy, confident chill of “Wasted Youth.” A song that carefully balances pop against a backdrop of heavy themes.
Though her illustrious pals didn’t join her at the Village, her band elevated every track, sounding wire tight and ready for the road. Speaking of, they’ll be touring for the next few months, including a sold out stop at the Hollywood Palladium, May 11th. She told Jason that the Palladium is the last original LA room she has yet to play (her excitement is beyond), continuing in a pattern of performing at LA staples, like the Fonda and Echo. Just another well deserved accomplishment for one of our local indie-rock heroes.
Jenny Lewis‘ voice is as alluring as her lyrics. At times punchy and defiant, but always warm and honest. On her new album “On The Line”, she delivers piano-driven songs with hints of country under tones.
Jenny Lewis has released an infectious new single titled “Wasted Youth” from her forthcoming album “On The Line”, due out Friday, March 22nd. Jenny Lewis releases her fourth solo album, On The Line – the follow up to 2014’s critically acclaimed The Voyager on Warner Bros. Records.

Late last year, Jenny Lewis teased that her new album, would be one of our most anticipated of 2019, was on its way early this year. After unleashing a pair of suspicious tweets, Lewis confirmed the new record is called On The Line, and it’s not dropping until March 22nd on Warner Bros. Records. The news arrives with the album’s first single, “Red Bull & Hennessy,” which arrived with a twinkly accompanying visualizer. “Red Bull & Hennessy” is Lewis’ first new music since her 2014 album The Voyager, and on this love song-turned-party song, she makes an invigorated return in a fit of bluesy electric guitar, “high on Red Bull and Hennessy.” She teases and taunts (“Don’t you wanna kiss me? Don’t you wanna even try?”), only to proclaim she’s “higher than you.” After five silent years, the singer/songwriter and former Rilo Kiley frontwoman is back and burning brighter than ever.
The unstoppable Jenny Lewis has shared another new track from her forthcoming album On The Line titled “Heads Gonna Roll.” The follow-up to the sultry “Red Bull & Hennessy” features Ringo Starr on drums, Benmont Tench on the organ and Don Was on bass.
