“Where others wait for their ‘moment,’ Ariel Jade is making space—for herself, for others, and for a version of artisthood that looks less like spectacle and more like infrastructure. Not a flash of light. A power grid.”

Pebbles

“I’ve got a pocket full of pebbles...” And don’t we all?

Blending literary wit with folk and roots sounds, “Pebbles” brings a little ‘rock’ into the roll of Ariel Jade’s unique sound. With a groove steeped in Americana storytelling and a bold, soulfully empowered vocal delivery, Ariel Jade relates the weight of carrying around ‘baggage’ and lessons not yet learned to the weight of pebbles in your pocket.

Love & War

“All is fair in love & war… until it’s at your own front door.”

“At a time when an alarming majority of society is swift to cheer on violence and seems to lack basic levels of empathy, ‘Love & War’ is my statement. It’s meant to make you think – and if you’re already thinking, it’s here to let you hear that you’re not alone.” – Ariel Jade
