Jillette Johnson

Throughout her decade-long career, Jillette Johnson has blurred the boundaries between genre and generation, building a catalog of contemporary music inspired by the classic sounds of her heroes. She's been a road warrior. A piano-pop torchbearer. A singer/songwriter who's weathered the industry's twists and turns, moving from record label rosters to hard-won independence over the course of three critically-acclaimed albums.
 
She chases down a new horizon with Normal Kid, an EP that marks her full-fledged embrace of euphoric indie-pop. Co-written with Joe Pisapia — the producer and multi-instrumentalist who also helmed Johnson's 2021 release, It's a Beautiful Day and I Love You — Normal Kid sources its modern sound from the best parts of the best. Late-'70s New Wave, early-'80s synth-pop, and '90s R&B all serve as sonic touchstones, glued together by the elastic voice and confessional lyrics of a songwriter who's never been afraid to shine a light on the skeletons in her closet.
