Riding a sparkling Seventies pop-rock piano riff, Lewis\u2019 narrator second-guesses herself into a haze of liquor and regret.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis has long been a master at juxtaposing candy-sweet melody with ominous narrative (see 2014\u2019s \u201cHead Underwater,\u201d or Rilo Kiley\u2019s classic 2014 \u201cPortions for Foxes\u201d), and her latest is no exception.\u00a0Lewis\u2019 bright vocal betrays an unadorned vulnerability in the song\u2019s mixed-up musings. \u201cDon\u2019t you wanna kiss me?\u201d she asks halfway through. \u201cDon\u2019t you wanna even try?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the song, however, the track has caught up to Lewis\u2019 tale. After a piercing guitar solo, \u201cRedbull &amp; Hennessy\u201d doesn\u2019t end so much as it stops with an array of punctured feedback. It\u2019s the latest, essential chapter in Lewis\u2019 long career of navigating bruised emotional complexities.<\/p>\n<p>The songwriter also expanded her recently announced\u00a0<em>On the Line<\/em>\u00a0tour, adding a new run of opening dates for Death Cab for Cutie in June. The North American trek, preceded by a performance on Chris Thile\u2019s Live From Here variety show on February 1st, commences March 26th in Bloomington, Illinois.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/jenny-lewis-redbull-hennessy-song-785702\/\" target=\"_blank\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter with me?\u201d Jenny Lewis sings on her latest single, \u201cRedbull &amp; Hennessy.\u201d On her first solo offering since 2014\u2019s\u00a0The Voyager, Lewis offers a darkly suggestive tale of dissolution and desire.
