Evann McIntosh - JENN!FER AN!STON [Video]

Teen singer songwriter Evann McIntosh unveils ‘JENN!FER AN!STON’, a dreamy, moody slow-burner that melds thought-provoking lyrics with groovy, soporific sonics.

The 17-year-old singer may be young, but it was at a far younger age, 9 years old, that they first picked up a guitar and fell in love with music. McIntosh spent their teenage years crafting tunes from their bedroom after lights out. Now, since connecting with producer Jesty Beatz through Instagram, McIntosh has brought the duo’s soul-searching bedroom-pop out into the open, gaining swathes of fans, largely through TikTok following the viral success of their single ‘What Dreams Are Made Of’.

Reflecting on their latest hit, ‘JENN!FER AN!STON’, McIntosh explains, “I wrote this song about wanting to see someone in a different light, as a different character other than the love interest. It’s about the constant continuation of the same pattern. It’s about trying to force a change that won’t come. You want better and you put in the effort but it’s unreciprocated either way. No commitment and no loss.”

“Once I shared the song with director Loris Russier, we knew right away we wanted to do something in New York,” says creative director of the ‘JENN!FER AN!STON’ video Khufu Najee. “Something that felt like you were in Manhattan; Like an episode of 'Friends' but inside Evann's world. When you listen to Evann's music, you hear the soul in their voice.  The music they make has such a timeless feel that shooting on film was important.  We had to match the energy and soul of their voice, but visually.”
