Jenevieve is a name you might not be familiar with yet, but that’ll be changing shortly. The singer was featured in our last editorial on 6 New Artists You Should Hear, and at that time, she really only had two songs under her belt. Our top pick, at the time, was the soulful-inspired “Medallion” record, although it was “Baby Powder” that ultimately gave Jenevieve her first taste of viral fame, after debuting in March 2020 and racking up millions of YouTube stream. Now, she’s back to expand her small-yet-dope r’n’b catalogue with the release of “Eternal”– and hopefully, this also means the LA-based artist has a proper album in the works.
“Eternal” offers a bit of a different vibe than “Medallion,” a bit more relaxed and free-moving, with airy r’n’b production matching the singer’s light vocals, as she really glides across the song. The song was released via music video, with the visuals keeping the theme intact, as we see Jenevieve through a looking glass of sorts, surrounded by flowers, juxtaposed with darker scenes of the singer dancing atop a roof, surrounded by high-rise buildings, in perfectly updated ’90s attire; the song itself pulling some ’90s inspiration too.
Jenevieve – Eternal (prod. JEAN BENZ)
[Verse 1]
Dark blue and see-through
These alleys are gold mines
Alleys are gold mines
Where were you last night?
‘Cause you were on my mind
[Chorus]
You’re on my mind
It was just the two of us
Melanin swim, way on the cusp
Roll another uh, roll another J
We’re gon’ be okay
[Verse 2]
Footprints on beaches (Babe, my love)
Where were you last night?
‘Cause you were on my mind (Mind)
[Chorus]
You’re on my mind
It was just the two of us
Melanin swim, way on the cusp
Roll another uh, roll another J
We’re gon’ be okay
[Verse 3]
It’s hard to believe
‘Cause you don’t understand
Don’t understand
Clocks keep on tickin’ and passin’ us by
Colors are fadin’ and buildings are fallin’
Buildings are fallin’
Where were you last night?
‘Cause you were on my mind
[Chorus]
You’re on my mind
It was just the two of us
Melanin swim, way on the cusp
Roll another uh, roll another J
[Bridge]
Runnin’ outta time
I’m still underpaid
Caught by the fuzz
Hands in the air
Eternal love
Hands in the air
Eternal love
Hands in the air
Eternal love
[Outro]
(Babe, my love)
(You were on my mind)
(You were on my mind)
