Did the young lady from Michigan, runner-up from Season 13, have any other great songs in her?
Well, she just answered that question with a deafening “yes.” Today, she released the video for the title from from her debut EP — “Innocence” — which hits iTunes Friday.
On her website, Jena had indicated the song was about losing her virginity. She elaborated in an interview with the Detroit Free Press.
“The song is about me losing my virginity to an (expletive),” Asciutto told the newspaper. “Even though I gave consent, I still felt weird afterwards because it didn’t feel right. That happens often now — I know I’m not the only one, girl or boy, who feels that way when they have sex for the first time. And it doesn’t get talked about.”
By the end of the video, Jena is taking a baseball bat to the cheating “expletive’s” car, Carrie Underwood style.
Writes Jena on Facebook: “Girls can have their fantasy revenge too.”
Now 19, Jena also makes it clear she’s eager to put American Idol in the past. Check out her enlightening interview with the Oakland Press here. And note that she’s now back to using her last name after being known as simply Jena Irene on Idol.
“Each of these could definitely be a song about a relationship ending or they could be me breaking away and breaking out of my ‘American Idol’ self,” she says of the five songs on her new EP.
“Innocence” is available for pre-order on iTunes.
