Local musician and former Carissa’s Wierd member Jenn Champion is releasing her first album under the new moniker, Single Rider, next month. Her last album, 2014's Cool Choices, as well as the three solo albums prior to that, were recorded under the name S. Today's song of the day is an early single off the album, “O.M.G. (I’m All Over It).” Produced by SYML, the song was said to be influenced by Carly Rae Jepsen and has clear pop-leanings. The song comes with a video that sees Champion join members of the Future Ladies Of Wrestling, IAN SWEET’s Jilian Medford, and Champion’s wife Arwen Nicks for an intense aerobic workout. You can next catch Champion at Chop Suey with local artists PSA and Stres.
