Jackie Venson - "Flying #evolution" from the 2023 self-released album Evolution of Joy.

When\\xa0Jackie Venson named her latest LP\\xa0Evolution of Joy, she meant it in more ways than one. Not only is this a re-working of her 2019 album Joy, but it\'s also reflective of the evolution she\'s seen in the music industry since the pandemic struck.\\xa0

\\u201cI released more music than I ever have before,\\u201d she told Austin Woman. \\u201cBut that also led to more people discovering me that never had before. Then at the end of that year, I actually landed my first Austin City Limits TV taping, and it was because of all of the buzz that I had garnered. I shifted my whole career to the internet, made more music than I ever have in my life and also got more exposure than I ever have in my life. No label helps me get that exposure; all I did for that exposure was frequency.\\u201d

With\\xa0Evolution of Joy, she continues, "everything is beefier. Everything\\u2019s bigger. Everything is more consistent. Everything is better put together, more organized, and the skills are better. The techniques are all there presented. I\\u2019m excited about having Evolution of Joy as a foundation for who I am now [and] releasing more projects under that foundation.\\u201d
