It's remarkable how versatile Jenny Lewis can be. Her solo project is already quite different than Rilo Kiley, and her newest side project Jenny and Johnny almost makes her sound like a completely different person. I'm enjoying the free download that they're floating around ("Scissor Runner") - it's a peppy summer number full of jingle-jangle. On some level, I wish I heard a little more of the raw, soulful twang that I love about Jenny Lewis's voice (see: Moneymaker, Breakin' Up, etc). That being said, I like this collaboration and the fact that the sound is so different (because really what's the point in having a side project that sounds exactly like your other band???) And maybe she sounds happy rather than soul-crushed because she's singing with her boyfriend - just a thought.
If you, too, have a huge girl crush on Jenny Lewis and haven't heard the song yet, I highly suggest you go download it:
