Jenna Devries – Strut: Jenna DeVries releases new country anthem, “Strut.” The single is now available on all digital streaming platforms, and you can watch the video here.
Jenna DeVries returns with “Strut” – a bold anthem that pulses with resilience, inclusivity, and the fearless spirit of self-expression, redefining today’s music scene. Alongside production by Don Miggs (Dolly Parton, Steven Tyler, Mick Fleetwood), this song is an instant standout in DeVries’ catalog.
The chorus hits like a battle cry. “Only country queens know how to strut,” she proclaims, invoking the legacies of Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire while carving her own path. With nods to Chappell Roan and even Beyoncé, DeVries blends country roots with a modern, defiant twist.
DeVries shares her inspiration behind the new project, “Country music is for everyone – there are so many artists breaking through old thought patterns and making space in the genre. ‘Strut’ is an anthem celebrating this new wave of country artists AND the women in country who led the way for them. It’s a song that celebrates some of my favorite female artists – who I really look up to – artists who have always celebrated and made space for everyone. Right now is a really scary time to be a woman, LGBTQIA+, or a person of color. I hope, while we fight for the country we want to live in, that this song can give people a bit of hope and honestly make them smile. Country music, much like equal rights, should be for EVERYONE.”
Known for her captivating performances and outspoken advocacy, DeVries has been recognized as one of NSAI’s ‘Songwriters To Watch’ and has built an impressive career with standout achievements, including a Top 24 spot on American Idol. Jenna’s collaborations — such as “Unholy” with Adam Mac and “Drunk Girls” featuring Harper Grae — have earned over one million streams on Spotify and garnered support from People Country, CMT, and Viacom.
Her duet with Adam Mac, “Chapel,” topped CMT’s Music Television channel for two weeks, competing with major hits from Keith Urban and Chris Housman. DeVries’s Pride-themed single, “Rhinestone Cowgirl,” received praise from The Academy of Country Music, Holler, CMT, and more for its celebratory message.
DeVries is not only a rising star but also a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion as a queer 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.
Her most recent single before “Strut,” “Hell Is Real,” was celebrated by major media players, and supported by several editorial playlists.
