Jenny Lewis on new album On The Line and the 'upsetting and disturbing' Ryan Adams abuse allegations
TURNING 40 three years ago was a life-changing moment for singer and former child actress Jenny Lewis – and it was also when she started writing her fourth album On The Line.
On International Women’s Day in a central London hotel, she tells me: “I was on my own and it was empowering but also terrifying. While away, Lewis got a call that her mum Linda had liver cancer and went back to LA for a reconciliation – the two had been estranged for years because of Linda’s heroin addiction.Jenny Lewis started writing On The Line three years ago and has been a therapeutic process for the artist
“But when I got the call that she was poorly, it changed everything. That relationship with my mother was extremely difficult and complex but it usurped everything else.Getty - Contributor“But this was the most important thing that will happen to me in life.”Other collaborators on the brilliant record include Ringo Starr, Don Was, Benmont Tench, Jim Keltner and, mostly for the women involved.
“I didn’t set out to be a part of the discussion, but I have a unique perspective and I think it’s really important that we figure it out moving forward and define how it is going to be and that we are not going to tolerate it.”Jenny Lewis explains how Ryan Adam 'bailed' on her and left her before finishing her record
“This time I had to finish it without him, so I reached out to Beck after I wrote all these new songs and we reconvened in the studio. I think it happened like that for a reason.
