Los Angeles, CA – Erinn Alissa releases her new single, “Jacaranda Trees,” a haunting, nostalgic folk-pop ballad. Through a tender reflection of a place she once loved, this deeply personal track captures the heartbreak and memories felt after the loss of a home, reminding listeners that memories linger on long after the dust has settled. “Jacaranda Trees” is now available on all streaming platforms worldwide.
“Jacaranda Trees” is a guitar-driven ballad, met with passionate storytelling through intimate lyricism reflecting on the loss and grief of a home that once stood, but has since fallen to ashes. Though the emotional core of this track is based on her own personal experience following the Palisades Fire in January 2025, this song speaks a universal language of pain and nostalgia. At the center of the track is Erinn Alissa’s commanding vocal performance, measured yet deeply affecting, carrying the emotional weight of the story with striking clarity. Her delivery moves with restraint and control, allowing the vulnerability in each line to land with precision rather than excess. Much like the tree that bloomed every spring and sat outside her window, “Jacaranda Trees” implies that memory will live on in the spaces that we carry and quietly grow within us. “‘Jacaranda Trees’ is about loving a place that no longer exists, and the ghost of who we are when it’s gone. It’s for anyone who’s lost something that once felt like home and still carries it with them,” says Erinn Alissa. “Jacaranda Trees” was self-produced alongside GRAMMY-winner Janet Robin (Lindsey Buckingham, Air Supply, John Carter Cash), who also provided acoustic and electric guitars, with Chris Love on bass. The track was mixed by Erinn Alissa and Matt Hyde (No Doubt, Deftones), who also mastered the track.
