Phoenix singer songwriter River Iris skillfully fuses a polished pop sound with soulful, confessional songwriting, and pulsing electronic elements that recall Tori Kelly, Halsey, and Alicia Keys.

Her latest single, Consider Me Confused, was written in Nashville with 2...

A little about Jenny... As a nation...
