Emerging singer/songwriter Whitney Fenimore is thrilled to announce the release of her latest single ‘New Normal’, a blissful indie-folk track that showcases her distinctive vocal presence and cutthroat lyricism. After a string of releases so far this year, ‘New Normal’ is a testament to Fenimore’s evolution as an artist and her dedication to authenticity and emotional resonance in her music.
Fenimore’s journey began in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she was born and raised in a deeply religious Christian family. Her early exposure to music came from her immersion in church activities and the Christian music scene. However, it wasn’t long before her passion for music led her to explore beyond these boundaries and explore new pathways in her own personal life too. Whitney’s journey as a queer artist has taken her through the music-heavy cities of Los Angeles and now Nashville, where she has spent the past five years honing her craft.
Fenimore’s impressive career highlights include a publishing deal with Ken Caillat (Fleetwood Mac, Colbie Caillat), a semi-finalist spot on Season 13 of NBC’s “The Voice,” a SXSW debut showcase in 2018, and opening for GRAMMY-award winners such as Lori McKenna, Julia Michaels, The Brilliance, and Jake Scott.
Her latest single, ‘New Normal’, is a continuation of her journey of artistic exploration and self-discovery. Written alongside producer Preston Cochran in Nashville, the track is introspective yet inviting, driven by an acoustic guitar undertone that sets the stage for Fenimore’s stunning vocal performance. The song’s production is adorned with subtle quirks and touches that enhance its emotional depth throughout, drawing comparisons to early Phoebe Bridgers in both sonics and delivery.
She shares “‘New Normal’ is about people’s assumptions and not letting those define you. It’s about me learning to love myself for who I am and being unapologetic about that.”
Whitney wanted to dig a bit deeper with her songwriting and unleash an honesty that had never been uncovered before, and the result is this stunning blend of indie-folk and acoustic singer-songwriter in the realm of Maggie Rogers, Phoebe Bridgers and Madi Diaz.
Unapologetically brilliant, ‘New Normal’ provides a new breadth to Whitney Fenimore’s craft, and one that is relatable, infectious and timeless all in one offering.
