Another, titled ‘Life Happens’, was written and recorded a matter of weeks before music studios were forced to temporarily close during lockdown. Kent said it felt “more and more relevant as the weeks go on.”

Kent’s last official release was the single ‘Slushie’ in 2019. The single marked the singer-songwriter’s return to Australia, following a stint of writing and working out of Los Angeles. The pop artist has steadily released a single each year since her debut EP, 2016’s ‘My Name is Jess Kent’.
