Just Jayne Release Their Debut EP

08-16-2026

(IC) Rising country-pop trio Just Jayne release their debut EP, Jayne, via The Core Records. The seven-track project brings together Nashville-based singer-songwriters Taylor Edwards, Jillian Steele and Rachel Wiggins' signature three-part harmonies, irresistible hooks and deeply relatable storytelling while fully introducing the creative world behind the name Just Jayne. The EP arrives alongside visualizers for new songs "Emergency Contact" and "Bad Day," with "Emergency Contact" serving as the project's focus track.

Across the project, Just Jayne are joined by an impressive group of songwriters, including Meghan Trainor, Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Maggie Rogers), Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, SZA, Sam Smith), Sasha Alex Sloan (LANY, Camila Cabello), and Allison Veltz Cruz (Jason Aldean, Nate Smith, Josh Ross), among others. Trainor, Kid Harpoon and Johnson teamed up to write "Bad Day," while the trio co-wrote the EP's focus track, "Emergency Contact," with Sloan and King Henry.

The EP brings together previously released standouts "Love A Loser," "What's His Name?," "Climate Change," "Death & Taxes" and "White Picket Fence," alongside new songs "Bad Day" and "Emergency Contact." From quick-witted kiss-offs to more vulnerable reflections on friendship and self-worth, the seven tracks capture the many sides of the world Just Jayne have created together.

At the heart of the project is a simple but powerful idea: everyone is Jayne. Though the trio grew up in completely different places - Georgia, New York, and between California and Arkansas - they kept finding themselves drawn to the same feelings, heartbreaks, dreams, and coming-of-age experiences. Created by taking pieces of their own names and building something new together, Jayne quickly became someone much bigger than the three of them - the best friend, the big sister, the girl you look up to and the girl still figuring it out. Across the EP, she is navigating heartbreak, questioning the future she thought she was supposed to want, leaning on the people who know her best and learning how to define happiness on her own terms.

Though Edwards, Steele and Wiggins grew up in Georgia, New York, and between California and Arkansas, respectively, their different backgrounds continually led them back to shared experiences of friendship, heartbreak, uncertainty and growing up. Those common threads became the foundation of Jayne, turning personal stories into songs that feel instantly familiar.

"When the three of us first started writing together, we realized that even though we grew up in completely different places, we had so many of the same experiences and feelings," says Just Jayne. "That's really where Jayne came from. She started as a combination of the three of us, but she's become every girl in a way - your best friend, your big sister, or a version of yourself. We hope people can hear these songs and find a little piece of themselves in her."

Just Jayne celebrated the arrival of Jayne with a record release party at Flamingo on Thursday, August 13, performing the project for fans ahead of its official release. The EP arrives amid a breakout year for the Nashville-based trio, who were recently featured on Taste of Country's "RISERS: 2026 Artists to Watch" roundup, with the outlet noting that "Just Jayne are bringing beautiful three-part harmonies back to country music." After making their international debut at C2C Festival in London earlier this year, Just Jayne have continued building momentum on the road with dates supporting multi-platinum hitmaker Nate Smith on his Long Live Country Rock and Roll Tour, along with festival appearances including CMA Fest and LASSO MONTREAL.
