Jan Edwards Proves Love’s Not One Genre In 'Love Love'

Don’t let the title fool you. Jan Edwards’ new EP 'Love Love' isn’t just a sunshine-and-rainbows soundtrack for hopeless romantics. It’s a bold, genre-surfing rollercoaster through the messy, magnetic, and often absurd emotional circus we call love.

Released May 23, Love Love is as unpredictable as love itself. From the flirty sparkle of “Strawberry Kisses” (think Watermelon Sugar on its third espresso) to the soul-baring, strut-worthy “Solo Is the New Black,” Edwards shows she’s not afraid to let vulnerability dance with sass. One second you’re sipping jazz-pop martinis, the next you’re two-stepping through folk heartbreak, and somehow, it all feels cohesive.

The title track “Love Love” kicks things off with pure effervescence, delivering a fizzy celebration of love in all its forms: loud, quiet, romantic, platonic, and everything in between. But the deeper you go, the more Edwards flexes her lyrical teeth. Tracks like “Check” flip the dating script with playful wit, while “Passion Flower” closes the EP on a sultry note that lingers like perfume on a pillowcase.

A true songwriting shapeshifter, Edwards never tries to fit into one lane. Why would she, when she can pave her own? Pop, jazz, folk, blues, even country, it’s all here, stitched together with her signature emotional honesty and vocal warmth. She’s not genre-bending for the gimmick; she’s doing it because it’s the only way to tell the truth.

Love Love is a soundtrack for the brave-hearted. For the ones who’ve cried in a parked car, kissed in the rain, left when it hurt, and stayed when it scared them. Jan Edwards isn’t just writing songs; she’s bottling feelings. And lucky for us, she just uncorked a whole new batch.
