Jackson + Sellers
ABOUT
As the new duo Jackson+Sellers, Jade Jackson and Aubrie Sellers are getting a second first impression with their stunning and surprising new album, Breaking Point. Drawn together by seemingly cosmic forces, they first crossed paths through back-to-back gigs at Americanafest in Nashville in 2019, a fleeting moment that eventually led to a deep friendship and a true recognition of kindred spirits. During the pandemic, they aligned for an inspiring creative partnership that has yielded one of the most compelling collaborative albums of the last decade.
Breaking Point, their exceptional debut on ANTI- Records, establishes Jackson+Sellers as women who share an intuitive musical kinship and a rare ability to craft tight singular pop-rock tracks without losing sight of their songwriting selves. By shedding the identities pre-assigned to them by the music industry, Jackson+Sellers have fashioned an album reflective of their expansive musical interests, from ‘70s rock to indie pop to West Coast country.
“I wanted to push us even further into the rock & roll sound I’ve been on the edge of for my last two solo albums,” said Sellers.
Co-produced by Sellers and Ethan Ballinger, the project is also a master class in unexpected vocal harmonic convergence, the likes that have not been heard since Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ Raising Sand.
“I can’t remember ever being as present, emotionally charged or in the moment as I felt creating this record,” Jackson says. “I love that I don’t have to be ‘me’ when I’m writing and performing. Music is where I can escape and connect, hide and be seen at the same time. In that balance, it’s where I find the truest form of myself.”
