THE SINGER-SONGWRITER SETS ALBUM PREMIERE SHOW IN NASHVILLE
ON APRIL 16, NATIONAL ANGEL DAY
Nashville, TN – Owepar Entertainment today, via its distribution partnership with Virgin Music Group, issues the first global digital release of Tell Me I’m Your Angel, the 2023 debut album from singer-songwriter Jada Star.
As the daughter of Frieda Parton and niece of Dolly Parton, Jada comes from the remarkable pedigree of the East Tennessee Parton-Owens musical family dynasty. As a self-described “late-bloomer,” Jada was initially shy and did not begin to find her artist voice until her 30’s. Growing up in such a musical family while being immersed in the music of the 1970’s and 1980’s, Jada’s influences are clearly present in her own music. However, on Tell Me I’m Your Angel it’s evident that she is also traveling down her own creative path.
Originally released in the UK in 2023 on Owepar Records, the 10 original songs that make up the Tell Me I’m Your Angel serve as vignettes of heartbreak and joy, commitment and apprehension filled with sincerity and honesty. The captivating opening track “Keeper of My Heart” addresses the vulnerable but liberating feeling of fully opening oneself up to love.
“The title track ’Tell Me I’m Your Angel’ is about the complex and conflicting feelings of self-worth one feels when they are confronted with love.” says Star. “Most people share feelings of insecurity, imposter syndrome, and negative self-talk. ‘Tell me that I’m all the things my mind tells me I ain’t’…it’s said with humor, but the person in the song is really saying, ‘please, love me on the days I don’t like myself. Please, be my champion even when I feel like I’m not good enough, and I’ll do the same for you.’ I think that’s a universal feeling, and whether it’s romantic or platonic ‘love,’ some days it takes a partner’s encouragement to keep you afloat. We’re just people trying to connect with other people, and we’re all equally flawed. There’s so much vulnerability and beauty in that,” she concludes.
Richie Owens, producer of Dolly Parton & Family: Smoky Mountain DNA – Family, Faith & Fables, also serves as the producer of Tell Me I’m Your Angel.
Jada Star will perform a special album release show on Nashville in April 16th at Row One in Cannery Hall. Limited space remains, but limited free tickets can be secured via the RSVP link here.
