Jess Novak and The Jess Novak Band are gearing up for a big year with the release of their new music video, “The Key.” Written and recorded by The Jess Novak Band at Hobin Studios, the second track off of their 2021 album release, “A Thousand Lives,” seeks to inspire listeners everywhere.
In its lyricism and upbeat instrumentation, “The Key” tackles themes such as baggage, trauma, and moving on. Lyrics like “If the ground keeps crumbling, then get some wings/You gotta rise to survive this thing” metaphorically express how the world may be a cruel and unfair place, however, we have the power to let go of the things weighing us down and reach our goals.
This song is all about choosing to let go of the things holding you back and to embrace your own power. It’s a declaration that “you can do it” – and you can. Whatever IT is, I hope 2022 is your year to make it happen.

The video itself, recorded and produced by Lights on Fayette, features brilliant color in up to 4k resolution. Novak has previously worked with the studio while filming her music video for “The Joke.”
