Not Over It

Contradictions

Atomized Spirit

Originally by Julien Baker
I went walking again
I'll go out and forget to tell any of my friends where I'm going
I'm just drunk on the side of the road in a ditch
When you find me
I wanna go home, but I'm sick
There's more whiskey than blood in my veins
More tar than air in my lungs
The strung out call I make
Burned down on the edge of the highway
"I'm sorry for asking, but please, come take me home"
I quit talking again
But I know you're still listening
To see if I sleep or I pierce my skin
Needles to the worn out rags
The folds in my arms, the sickening black
And I haven't been taking my meds
Lock all the cabinets, send me to bed
Cause I know you're still worried I'm gonna get scared
Cause I'm alone again and I don't like the things I see

Faith Healer (Rework)

Jenn Nucum (she/they) is an emerging Filipinx singer-songwriter based in Toronto.

Navigating life as a diasporic, queer person of colour, Jenn Nucum's music deconstructs the complex fabric of identity with dreamy and ambient Alt Rock melodies, honest lyrics, and emotive vocals. Jenn takes listeners on a reflective and evaluative journey of reconciling identity with reality.  

Each song encompasses Jenn’s experiences as a queer Filipinx: assimilating to achieve validation, feeling alienated amongst peers, and the anxieties of editing or censoring to blend in. 

By confronting these personal struggles through music, Jenn seeks to empower those who feel dismissed or invisible–to bravely take up space in society by first performing the inner work of self-compassion and self-acceptance.

In September 2020, Jenn Nucum was a participant in MusicOntario's Canadian Songwriter Challenge, writing and producing demos of three original songs, under the mentorship of renowned Juno- and Grammy-nominated musicians Terra Lightfoot, Adrian X (Drake, The Weeknd), and Moe Berg (TransCanada Highwaymen, The Pursuit Of Happiness).
