Jenna DeVries releases “Out Loud” for Pride Month. The single is out now and you can listen to on all digital streaming platforms.
Fresh off performances at Detroit Pride and Vancouver Pride, and gearing up for Kansas Pride, Jenna DeVries is using her platform to spotlight joy, resistance, and community within country music. Written by Devries and produced by Relatable Music,“Out Loud” feat. Auric Orion is a rallying cry for queer empowerment, celebrating the courage it takes to live visibly in today’s world. It’s bold, it’s unfiltered, and it’s bursting with technicolor energy.
The lyrics confront the challenge of claiming space and joy in a world that often feels unwelcoming: “We’re standing on a stage that wasn’t built for us, with nothing we can trust, come curtain call.” But instead of hiding, Jenna urges, “Don’t hide your light, don’t sacrifice another day. You don’t have to change.”
With a chorus bursting with love, she celebrates the power to transform “the ash and dust to glorious,” declaring “we’re beautiful and free, an unchained symphony.” The song’s fiery rap verse adds a fearless edge as Auric Orion spits truth on the track: “Learn to love yourself, ain’t no time for you to be somebody else.”
A former American Idol finalist and NSAI Songwriter to Watch, Jenna DeVries has already earned praise from CMT, PEOPLE, Holler, Wide Open Country, and the Academy of Country Music, with over 1 million Spotify streams and numerous editorial playlist placements. Her past singles — “Rhinestone Cowgirl,” “Chapel” (with Adam Mac), “Someone’s Gotta Give,” and “Strut” — have all made waves, and “Out Loud” continues to expand her voice as a fearless advocate and dynamic force in country music.
DeVries is not only a rising star but also a passionate advocate for inclusion as an LGBTQ+ artist. She founded The Outlaw Collective, a showcase uplifting unheard voices in country music, which has gained attention from platforms like Today in Nashville and more. With a debut LP behind her and a second project in the works with Don Miggs, DeVries is forging an inclusive path forward. She recently made her WSM Opry Radio debut, sharing her journey to make country music a welcoming space for all. She also went on her first major tour this year, with heavy hitters Candi Carpenter, Kalie Shorr, and Zee Machine, selling out shows to devoted fans.
