NASHVILLE, TN (August 14, 2026) — Today, pop-country singer/songwriter Naomi Jane unveils the official music video for “Farren Rd.,” expanding the visual world of her forthcoming album Kinda Sorta Country, due Friday, October 9.

PRE-SAVE / PRE-ADD KINDA SORTA COUNTRY HERE.

Directed by and starring Naomi Jane, the video pairs an intimate guitar performance with the inventive eye of cinematographer and editor Matthew Patrick Donner. Performances from Austin Javanbakht (drums) and Christian Morales (banjo) deepen its roots-inspired atmosphere, grounding the song’s emotional landscape in understated, lived-in imagery.

Filmed on the real Farren Rd. at twilight on a hot summer night, the video transforms the road into a silent witness: tall grass, an old wooden fence, headlights, hot pavement, distant country music, and names carved into an oak tree. Together, these details capture the fleeting feeling of a place suspended between youth and reflection.“‘Farren Rd.’ is a real place in my hometown, but the song isn’t a diary entry,” Naomi shares. “It’s about how every town has that hidden road where youth gathers — out of sight, out of rules, and full of feeling. The details are real, but the story is what happens when your mind starts turning places into memory before you even realize it’s happening.”

Released July 10, the third single from Kinda Sorta Country transforms a familiar hometown road into an evocative portrait of growing up and the emotional weight places quietly accumulate over time. Co-written by Naomi Jane and Adam Zelkind, and produced by Zelkind, “Farren Rd.” blurs the line between lived experience and imagination, using one small road to tell a story that feels universally familiar.

Sonically, the track broadens Naomi Jane’s blend of country, indie, and folk with understated arrangements and richly textured instrumentation. Greg Leisz’s pedal steel, Jimmy Mattingly’s fiddle and mandolin, Greg Holden’s vocals, and contributions from Theo Haber and Tyson Motsenbocker give the song warmth and depth without overshadowing its quiet emotional core. Following the sharp wit of “Pumpkin Eater” and the tenderness of “Clementines,” “Farren Rd.” reveals yet another facet of Kinda Sorta Country, highlighting Naomi’s ability to turn deeply personal settings into stories that resonate far beyond their origins.

Kinda Sorta Country marks Naomi Jane’s clearest artistic statement to date, weaving together country storytelling, indie vulnerability, theatrical flair, and hook-driven pop production into a sound that feels both timeless and unmistakably her own. The record moves effortlessly between euphoric summer anthems and stripped-back acoustic moments, revealing an artist equally comfortable with wit, heartbreak, reflection, and joy.

Across its nine tracks, collaborators bridge legacy and modernity, including pedal steel legend Greg Leisz, multi-platinum Nashville songwriter Joey Hyde, Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket, Greg Holden, and Jimmy Mattingly of Garth Brooks’ touring band, alongside production from Adam Zelkind. Together, these collaborators create a cohesive musical landscape where classic country textures meet contemporary pop songwriting, reinforcing the album’s balance of intimacy and ambition.

“‘Kinda Sorta Country’ does not reinvent me. It clarifies me, louder, sharper, and fully in command of my own story,” Naomi shares.
