The Jankeys have never been shy about deploying deep emotion, and their new single, “Where I’m From,” is no exception. This song is a confession, an anthem for anyone who has ever felt the weight of judgment for being themselves.
The unfiltered honesty of the vocals draws you in. Layered harmonies bring an ethereal, otherworldly element so that each lyric hits even harder. This production is both intimate and expansive, creating room for the feelings to breathe while still delivering a wallop. It’s the kind of song you hear, and it makes you stop and think about your roots, struggles, and the dignity of standing tall despite the pressure of expectation.
The distinguishing characteristic of “Where I’m From” is successfully balancing openness with strength. The track is a reminder that self-reflection isn’t always easy but necessary. And especially in the wake of judgment, embracing who you are is the strongest thing you can do.
