Nanaimo, BC - May 9, 2025 - Canadian multi-instrumentalist and independent recording artist Jamie Penner has released a bold new studio album titled Something a Little Different - a genre-defying collection of instrumental and vocal tracks that explore the spaces between progressive rock, classic rock, cinematic orchestration, ambient soundscapes, and jazz-inspired moods.

True to its title, the album refuses to be boxed into a single category. Listeners are taken on a dynamic journey from the synth-heavy, guitar-forward instrumental reimagining of Prism's Canadian classic "Spaceship Superstar," to the Rush-influenced drive of The Chaos Construct, and the cinematic seasonal arcs of Waiting For a Friend, an orchestral piece that symbolizes the four seasons. Tracks like Walking in the Mist embrace a mellow, jazz-influenced vibe, while Look Into My Dreams and Lorem Ipsum drift through ambient, introspective territory.

Two standout tracks, Here I Go Again and I Don't Care, feature the powerful and soulful vocals of James Vickers, adding blues-rock grit and emotional resonance to the collection. I Don't Care reflects the creative struggle of carving out space to play and express oneself in a world full of distractions - a theme that hits home for many musicians and listeners alike.

"This album was never about sticking to one genre or sound," says Penner. "It's about letting each song become what it wants to be, whether that's a driving rock track, a mellow jazz tune, or something more orchestral and cinematic. I just followed the music."

Something a Little Different is now available for streaming and download on all major platforms, and the CD is available for purchase now at jamiepenner.com. To explore the album, visit:
