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.
