Rising Canadian country artist Jessica Sole has released her new single, “Strangers Don’t”, marking her first release with New Motor Records. Written with Patrick Kordyback and Madison Banham, the song centers on the uneasy space after a breakup, when closeness fades and familiarity slips away. The track reflects Sole’s continued growth as a songwriter, pairing a restrained arrangement with a focus on storytelling and emotional clarity.
Speaking about the song, Sole says, “‘Strangers Don’t’ is a heartbreak song about forcing yourself to move on from someone who once felt like home.” She adds, “It’s a really universal feeling, which is why after bringing in the first verse, the song almost wrote itself.” The release follows a period of momentum for Sole, including a #1 single on SiriusXM’s Top of the Country channel and performances at major Canadian festivals and showcases, as she continues expanding her catalog and presence nationwide.
