Jonathon Penn strikes a match with new single “Wildfire”

 

Jonathon Penn breathes flame with new single "Wildfire." Constructed from a remarkable collage of memories, "Wildfire" plays as a box of remembrances combed up from the back of a closet, objects and occasions that somehow withstood the emotional fires we endure. His vocal performance is under control. Penn sings the song with an almost reflective calmness. There's warmth in his wording and openness that allow emotions to unfold naturally.

In Penn's hands, these bits are no longer just nostalgia. The track is where humor, tenderness, and grief lie next to each other, the way they do in memory itself.
