Jillian Lee Antinora’s Sophomore Album is an Encapsulation of Life and Love

Covering the spectrum of relationships, from plants to children, Jillian Lee Antinora provides listeners a genuine look into her world on Wash Over Me.

Singer-songwriter Jillian Lee Antinora is characteristic for divulging the matters of her heart in a relatable and candid way. Her sophomore album, out the 9th of August, is no different. Covering topics from friendship, motherhood and all the nooks and crannies of life in-between, Wash Over Me is an album presenting the realities of authentic connection and finding hope above all. “The songs on this album were written during the pandemic and share some of my struggles and lessons learned,” she explains. Tracks like ‘Can’t Walk Away,’ ‘Unfinished Song’ and ‘Moonlight’ all serve to share the genuine struggles which we all face in relationships. In ‘Can’t Walk Away,’ Antinora sings “You’re not the only one who cries. Take comfort with the wise… Don’t ever compromise. I think it’s time for me to go.” In this way, her lyrics take on a comforting tone which listeners can easily connect with. ‘Unfinished Song,’ a track about a relationship gone too long, uses vivid imagery to convey the fire of love dimming to a low flame. ‘Moonlight,’ on the other hand, is a contemplative ballad on the internal struggles surrounding love over loneliness. While these songs all serve to bring insight on the topic of love, each is distinct in their own manner and tell a story with artful ease.
