Canadian singer-songwriter, Jacquie Drew has released a brand new and incredibly heart wrenching track, “Affliction.” The song is about the struggle many people go through to finally commit to a relationship and the pain that come along with that. The track starts out slowly with dreamy soundscapes that are soon met with a beautiful acoustic guitar and Jacquie’s enchanting vocals. Her storyteller voice draws the listener in immediately. “Do I ask too much, or not enough?” is a lyric that really hits home for anyone who has been scared to be vulnerable. It’s a very relatable track that is sure to hit listeners right in the heart. This is the first single from Jacquie’s album which will be dropping later this year.

In 2017, she decided to disband her band and focus on original music. After several trips to Nashville, she started recording a solo album in in Nashville in 2019. The album, Lifelong Truth, will be released this year. 2020 will be a very active year for Jacquie! She is launching a new Nashville-style jam concept and touring it around Alberta. Her goal?
