The singer wields her voice like a honey-coated blade, crafting a
blend of emotional folk music and poetic alt-country. With the spirit
of Nina Simone, and the intricate lyricism of Joni Mitchell and Joana
Newsom, Jackson’s writing, inspired by the American South and her
experiences growing up in Chicago, blurs the line between poetry and
song, demanding an attentive ear and a repeat listen. Her debut album,
Why Does the Earth Give Us People to Love?, released in April 2023,
garnered support from the likes of Pitchfork, NPR, Billboard Magazine
and Rolling Stone.
