Canadian singer-songwriter Jeen O'Brien, aka Jeen has delivered a new song “Medicate Me” via SoundCloud. The song was premiered exclusively on Billboard.
The song follows up previously released "Any Moment". Both songs will appear on her upcoming third album "Gift Shop", which is expected to be released in September. It is her first LP in two years.
She started to write the songs at the end of 2016 for the new album and wrote 30 songs. The album comprises of 9-track.
Jeen told billboard about the song;
"It's a bit of an ode to introverts. Being an anti-social person by nature, this music industry is obviously a tricky one to navigate for someone like that. So the song touches on using medical marijuana to calm my nerves, to medicate me a little bit. That's what was in my head.
"It's fabulous. It's kind of a shame it's not more available to people for different things. There's a real need for something like that, aside from pills or anything. But it definitely gave me the inspiration for (the song)."- Jeen is known as a member of the currently on-hiatus group Cookie Duster. Also she has written for many recording artists such as Great Big Sea, Serena Ryder, Res, Hawksley Workman, Brendan Canning, FUWA FUWA (j-pop) and Martin “Doc” McKinney to name a few.
To date, she has released two albums such as Tourist" (2015) and "Modern Life" (2016).
