August 28, 2026

The acclaimed singer, songwriter, and musical visionary Judith Owen is back with her latest single "Inside Out," released today. The song is taken from the critically praised album "Suit Yourself," which has now surpassed one million streams. This uplifting single demonstrates Owen's ability to seamlessly blend various genres and create music filled with energy, soul, and personal reflection.

Joyful mix of soul and gospel

"Inside Out" stands out as a vibrant, New Orleans-inspired fusion of soul and gospel. The single is co-written by Judith Owen and the Grammy-awarded musician, producer, and Snarky Puppy member Jamison Ross, whose presence contributes to the song’s distinctive drive and color. Tonya Boyd-Cannon Choirs' gospel choirs elevate the intensity, giving the song a festive and collective sense of hopefulness.

The official music video for "Inside Out" is directed by Josh Bagnall and was filmed by Fish Pot America Ltd. at Fish Pot Studio in New Orleans, Louisiana, in May 2026. New Orleans has played an increasingly significant role in Owen’s artistic development, and the city’s rich musical heritage permeates both the song and the video. Through the visual language, the connections deepen between Owen’s own journey and the city’s indomitable spirit of resilience and zest for life.

The song reflects Judith Owen’s personal and musical growth, and the lyrics are about self-discovery and the freedom to dare to be oneself. Owen describes the song as a tribute to hope, compassion, and finding joy even in the hardest times of life—a mindset deeply rooted in the soul of New Orleans. The collaboration with Tonya Boyd-Cannon and her choir amplifies the feeling of community and celebration throughout the song.

Musically, "Inside Out" combines elements from jazz, blues, soul, and big band music, all framed by Owen’s distinctive songwriting and contemporary expression. Co-writer Jamison Ross’s influence is evident in the song’s infectious groove. Ross describes the song as a “soul bop” with roots in classic soul but with a contemporary and fresh expression, where the feeling overtakes the body before one can think about it. He also highlights Owen's ability to blend rawness, elegance, and emotional power, making "Inside Out" both a tribute to soul tradition and something entirely its own.

"Inside Out" is released as Judith Owen announces that she will come to the Nordics for concerts in 2027. The audience will get the chance to experience her charismatic stage presence and the festive energy of her music live.

With "Inside Out," Judith Owen consolidates her position as an artist who dares to celebrate both the joys and challenges of life. With deep musical roots and personal presence, she delivers a message of hope, strength, and zest for life—and a spectacular experience is promised both on record and on stage in the Nordics in 2027.
