Let’s Eat Grandma’s JENNY ON HOLIDAY Shares New Single “Dolphins” Ahead of Debut Solo Album ‘Quicksand Heart’

Words by Marios Stamos

Jenny Hollingworth, one-half of the acclaimed duo Let’s Eat Grandma, is reintroducing herself as Jenny On Holiday, a solo artist with a sound that is fresh but also familiar. 

“My voice is the instrument I enjoy expressing myself most on.”

Following her solo debut single “Every Ounce Of Me” last month, Hollingworth’s debut solo album, set for release on 9 January 2026, via Transgressive Records, reveals a deep sense of creative focus. 

Written during quiet summers in Norwich and completed in London with producer Steph Marziano. The album’s title evokes a vivid metaphor for emotional gravity: a “quicksand heart” as a swirling, consuming centre of feeling. As Jenny explains, “I used to get this feeling that everyone had hearts made of different materials—and I felt like mine was a bit defective. I feel like my heart and my head are all made from the wrong things. That image is about wanting to be loved, and to love and live as a human does, despite the fact you’re maybe like the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz.”

Her new single “Dolphins” embodies that same tenderness, an intimate, dreamlike reflection on love and longing. Jenny describes the lyrics to “Dolphins,” which she first thought “were written by a little kid,” as some of her proudest work. Her vocals and crystal-clear storytelling make even the simplest lines feel powerful. 

“I’m so excited by the pop format—to be able to put something emotionally complex into this simple, accessible form.”

Directed by Nina Dellow, the accompanying music video features hazy, psychedelic visuals.

“My vision for Dolphins was to explore those moments in between dreaming and waking, seeing and thinking. There is so much tenderness and raw emotion in this song, yet there is still space to wonder; it is both intimate and abstract. Here we really see the artist and are invited to sit and dream with her for a while,” said Dellow about her creative approach.
