Leading me home - Erica Jennings



The   Irish   born   singer,   already   enjoying   a   spectacular   musical   career   inLithuania, expands her horizons as a  solo  artist presenting her single "Leading Me Home" worldwide.

"Leading me Home", a song she wrote andcomposed, featuring the most prominent, versatile and adventurous Lithuanian pianistPetras Geniušas and gospel choir "Hark".

"Petras is a wonderful  artist. He's the perfect  example  of how one should alwaysaspire to learn as much as possible in life", - she says. A simple, yet haunting piano ballad with soaring vocals and more than a touch ofgospel flavor.

"It's   about   human   struggle,   the   challenges   we   all   face   and   how   love   can   heal,strengthen and truly conquer all. Coincidentally we are now facing the largest refugeecrisis of our time. Through all of life's afflictions we must remember that love will setus free and we should not allow ourselves to be fearful or ignorant."

When asked where home is for the singer she replies that "Home isn't home if yourloved ones are elsewhere. It's a place to live, but it's not home. Home for me is myhusband and children, wherever we may be".  She   feels   as   though   the   song has   been   channeled   from somewherein her subconscious: "When   I   had began   composing the   song,   it   came   together   sofluidly as if it were "meant to be". Sometimes, it happens. Any artist will tell you. Andthe feeling is pure magic".

Erica   Jennings   has   thrived   on   the   Baltic   music   scene   ever   since   she   began   herprofessional career as a teen. After traveling the world with her parents she settled inVilnius and conquered the market easily.There   wasn't   much   competition   for   her then,   although clearly   sheunderstands that outside the Lithuanian market there will be plenty.

"But I welcome it.Competition is healthy and necessary. Different music for different tastes is crucial inmusic. It's the one language we all speak. It unifies us". She  has  always  sung from  the   heart. "I'm  concerned  with 2   things. Being  true   tomyself and not letting ego destroy my art. As the great Oscar Wilde said "Be yourself.Everyone else is already taken"".

Nevertheless, she admits that only now after ups and downs in her life she is confidentenough to reveal parts of herself she might have guarded before.
