London-born, Los Angeles-based soul-pop artist Jenny JAM brings together heartbreak, healing and hope on her debut album, Trains, Planes and Airports, a ten-track collection shaped by personal experiences, international travels and a determination to find positivity in life’s most difficult moments.
Blending soul, pop, jazz and classic rock influences, the album reflects the many places and experiences that have shaped Jenny’s journey as an artist. Recorded across Los Angeles, Delaware and Birmingham in the UK, the project brings together different musical perspectives while maintaining a central focus on emotional honesty and personal growth.
For Jenny, the album’s title reflects more than a life spent travelling. Its songs were written across planes, buses and trains, capturing moments of inspiration that emerged while moving between cities, countries and different stages of her life.
“No matter how dark the story, there’s always a positive twist,” Jenny explains. “It’s about rising above whatever life throws your way.”
That outlook runs throughout Trains, Planes and Airports, where deeply personal experiences become the foundation for songs about resilience, relationships and finding strength after adversity. One of the album’s most poignant moments is ‘Toy Proof’, written while Jenny was caring for her mother during treatment for leukaemia. The song draws from a particularly difficult period in her life, demonstrating how songwriting has become a way for her to process experiences that might otherwise be difficult to express.
At the other end of the emotional spectrum is ‘Friendzoned’, a playful, reggae-inflected track written on a Hampstead rooftop during Glastonbury Festival. Its origins capture another side of the album’s creative process, showing how Jenny draws inspiration from spontaneous moments as readily as she does from life-changing events.
The contrast between these songs reflects the album’s broader identity. Rather than remaining within one emotional space, Jenny moves between vulnerability, humour, heartbreak and optimism, allowing each track to represent a different chapter in her story.
The record also features contributions from Grammy and Emmy Award-winning producer Herb Middleton, known for his work with artists including Mary J. Blige and Al Green, alongside Ikuma Matsuda and 5am. Their involvement adds to the album’s blend of soul-rooted songwriting and contemporary pop production.
Several tracks arrived ahead of the full project, helping introduce listeners to Jenny’s sound. ‘Prove Who’ was recorded using Frank Sinatra’s iconic microphone at Capitol Records, adding a notable detail to the song’s creation. The track later featured on a billboard in New York’s Times Square and appeared in the British gangster film Bermondsey Tales.
Another key release, ‘Better Than You’, explores the experience of surviving abuse and reclaiming personal power. The emotionally direct track reached No. 33 on the US Mediabase charts and received coverage from music publications including Earmilk and PopDust.
Both songs reflect Jenny’s ability to turn difficult experiences into statements of self-belief. Her music often centres on the process of recognising personal worth, confronting emotional challenges and refusing to allow past circumstances to dictate the future.
Vocally, Jenny brings together the expressive qualities of classic soul with a contemporary edge. Her delivery moves between powerful, emotionally charged performances and softer, more intimate moments, giving her songwriting room to explore different shades of feeling.
Her musical influences include Amy Winehouse, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, drawing from the soulful storytelling, melodic craft and rock energy associated with those artists. A trained vocalist and self-taught pianist who speaks multiple languages, Jenny also brings experience from musical theatre, acting and film production into her work.
Under her legal name, Jennifer Moxham, she has worked across film and entertainment, including producing Bermondsey Tales. That experience contributes to the cinematic quality of her songwriting, where individual tracks often feel like scenes from a larger personal narrative.
Outside the studio, Jenny has continued to build an international audience through live performances. Her career has taken her to notable settings, including Dubai Fashion Week and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. She has also performed her original song ‘Eternal Love’ at the top of New York’s Freedom Tower during events marking the 20th anniversary of September 11.
These experiences reflect the international outlook that runs through Trains, Planes and Airports. For Jenny, travel is not simply a backdrop to her career but a source of encounters, emotions and stories that continue to influence her music.
With her debut album, Jenny JAM brings those experiences together in a collection that embraces both the difficult and uplifting sides of life. From the vulnerability of caring for a loved one to the lighter moments of romance and the determination to reclaim personal power, the ten tracks present an artist interested in turning lived experience into something listeners can recognise in their own lives.
Trains, Planes and Airports introduces Jenny JAM as a storyteller whose music finds strength in honesty and optimism. Across its shifting moods and musical influences, the album carries a consistent message: even when life takes an unexpected turn, there is always the possibility of moving forward.
