Jenny from Lets Eat Grandma goes solo with immediate intent on BIG OLD POP bangers but of the robust Prefab Sprout, Kate Bush and Cyndi Lauper cinematic 'soundtrack to my movie' stuff.
Jenny Hollingworth, best known as one half of Let's Eat Grandma, steps into her own with Quicksand Heart -- a 10-track debut that's equal parts tender and defiant.
Taking the playful alias Jenny on Holiday, she trades the band's surrealist pop for a lucid, heartfelt exploration of joy after loss, drawing on the energy of punky basslines, twinkling synths, and the crystalline clarity of her voice. Written in the quiet of Norwich summers and honed in London studios with producer Steph Marziano, the record distils her love for straight-talking lyricism and bold, immediate pop -- songs to be shouted in festival crowds or quietly carried home on the night bus.
Rooted in the idea of a "quicksand heart" -- fragile, flawed, yet full of feeling -- Hollingworth turns vulnerability into propulsion, weaving stories that shimmer between cinematic drama and simple truths. It's a work that embraces pop's directness without dulling its emotional complexity.
