We’re big fans of indie rockers The Creepy Jingles here at The Pitch, so we were delighted to hear that frontwoman Jocelyn Nixon has recorded some solo material. We were even more delighted once we heard the first song, “You Ain’t Right! You Must Be Wrong!” As Nixon explains, “It’s basically a tongue-in-cheek song making fun of hard right conservatives and social cliques who think only their way is ‘right.'”
We’re happy to premiere it today, ahead of its official release via streaming services on Friday, May 2.
As to what made her step out on her own for this track, Nixon says that the songs she presents to her bandmates in The Jingles’ songs are poppier stuff, typically, while solo songs are more folky, mellow, weird, and lyrical. Solo work also gives her the opportunity to work with others outside the group.
“I felt like I needed something where I can be a bit more vulnerable and naked, I suppose,” the musician says. “I think because Jingles do rock n roll pop songs well, I think I’m kinda boxed in as an artist and singer. This is my way of saying I have many sides to myself as an individual and as an artist, and I can forge my own path and defy expectations.”
Keep an eye out for Jocelyn Nixon’s next single, “Real Deal,” due later this summer, and catch The Creepy Jingles at Boulevardia on Saturday, June 14, and at the Replay Lounge on Saturday, June 21.
