We take a closer look at the artist, the album and her pending Belfast appearance.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>On May 4<sup>th<\/sup>, the critically acclaimed U.S. singer songwriter Jenn Bostic returns with her beautiful new album, <em>Revival.<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Written over the last two years, \u2018Revival\u2019 is the follow up to Jenn\u2019s 2015 album <strong><em>Faithful<\/em><\/strong>, which included the <strong>BBC Radio 2<\/strong> playlisted single, <em>What Love Feels Like<\/em><strong>. <\/strong>Returning with the blend of blues, soul, country, pop and gospel that\u2019s already won her an army of fans, <em>Revival<\/em> is her most authentic album yet. \u201c<em>It\u2019s the album my heart has been longing to make,\u201d <\/em>says Nashville based Jenn<em>. \u201cI grew up listening to the bluesy, soulful sounds of Bonnie Raitt and have fallen in love with Tedeschi Trucks. When I went into House of Blues Studio in Nashville to record this album I knew exactly what I wanted for the first time in my career.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And it shows. The result is an honest, soulful and empowering collection about overcoming any obstacle that life throws at you. Showcasing experienced song writing and confident vocals <em>Revival<\/em> is the sound of an accomplished artist making the music they want to make. \u201c<em>I&#8217;ve gone through a decade of artist development and I&#8217;m incredibly grateful for that time of growth and experimenting with different sounds, styles and producers,\u201d<\/em> says Jenn.<em> \u201cWith Revival we had all the musicians in a large studio, at the same time, capturing a moment. It&#8217;s my favorite way to make music.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Highlights include the bluesy opener, <em>Wrong Thing<\/em> about trusting your heart, and the powerful <em>Haunting<\/em>, about a flashback you don\u2019t want to remember. The upbeat pop of <em>Hollywood<\/em> is one of the album\u2019s brightest moments, whilst the contemplative ballad <em>Lonely<\/em> and the rock infused <em>Follow Your Own Star<\/em> showcase Jenn\u2019s positivity. \u00a0\u201c<em>If I&#8217;m going to be putting a message out into the world I want it to be one of hope, love and positivity<\/em>\u201d says Jenn. <em>\u201cWe see life through the lenses with which choose to look at it. I choose joy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Other standouts include the honesty of <em>Faint of Heart, <\/em>a personal favourite of Jenn\u2019s. \u201c<em>It shares my story in the most vulnerable way. When you\u2019re chasing a dream, doubt is inevitable, but if you believe you\u2019re chasing your purpose, then it doesn\u2019t matter how many times you circle the mountain, you have to keep circling.\u201d<\/em> \u00a0There\u2019s also the soulful country vibes of <em>Love Song <\/em>and the empowering <em>Before It Gets Better. <\/em>The life affirming<em> Gotta Be You <\/em>is an anthem for anyone that feels different and don\u2019t miss the album\u2019s lead single<em> Revival, <\/em>an uplifting gospel song about the power of positive thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Recorded at <strong>House of Blues Studios<\/strong> in <strong>Nashville, Tennessee<\/strong>, and produced <strong>by six-time Grammy award winner, Paul Salveson<\/strong>, Revival is Jenn\u2019s 4<sup>th<\/sup> studio album. \u00a0It follows an impressive career, which has included an appearance on <strong>BBC Breakfast<\/strong> in 2012, performing her breakthrough single <em>Jealous of the Angels<\/em>. Written for her late father, the song was championed by both <strong>Smooth Radio<\/strong> and <strong>BBC Radio 2<\/strong> and hit <strong>Number 1 <\/strong>on the singer songwriter chart, with now over 3 million views on YouTube.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BiOae0Thvog\/\" data-instgrm-version=\"8\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:8px;\">\n<div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\">\n<div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC\/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5\/P8\/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo\/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI\/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf\/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BiOae0Thvog\/\" style=\" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;\" target=\"_blank\">TONIGHT!!!
