Jesse Lynn Madera’s latest single, “Make It Out,” is a stirring anthem that calls listeners to resilience and reflection amidst tumultuous times. Released on October 25, this track finds its footing in Americana roots, with production by genre icons Dan Navarro and Grammy-winning producer Jim Scott. Following her sophomore album Speed of Sound, Make It Out serves as both a musical evolution for Madera and a powerful message on the importance of collective action and hope.
“Make It Out” begins with cascading piano keys that pave the way for Madera’s rich, emotive vocals. Her voice, thick with feeling and wisdom, sings with a cautious but heartfelt longing as she asks, “Could it be somehow the worst is all over now?” Her delivery captures the sentiment of a woman who has endured hardship but still finds herself cautiously optimistic, seeking solace while fearing the weight of her hopes.
As the song unfolds, an ensemble of organs, strings, and relaxed guitar riffs joins in, creating a layered soundscape that expands with each verse. Steady percussion supports her voice, which gradually gains strength and range. By the bridge, her vocals soar to captivating heights, bringing an emotional climax that leaves an indelible mark.
The lyrics, co-written with Rob McCulloch, reflect Madera’s response to the current social and political landscape. Rooted in a desire for positive change, she aims to inspire listeners to engage in shaping the future. Madera’s vocals are raw and compelling, capturing a yearning for a better tomorrow and a deep belief in the power of individual voices to create change.
Listen to “Make It Out” to calm your nerves in these difficult, fearful times with hope and an inner strength blooming from within.
