Jen Miller Releases New Independent Album Quiet Parts Out Loud

Nashville-based songwriter, producer, and Recording Academy member Jen Miller today released her new independent album, Quiet Parts Out Loud, available now on all streaming platforms. Written and recorded between Nashville, Columbus, Ohio, and Lake Lure, North Carolina, the album marks a bold, hook-forward evolution for Miller — blending folk storytelling with indie rock energy, pop immediacy, and protest-era urgency.

Quiet Parts Out Loud follows Miller’s 2023 release Smoky Mountain Special, a banjo-driven folk record that earned Recording Academy consideration for Best Folk Album and Best American Roots Song (“Throw Me In The Lake”). Where that album distilled grief into stark roots music, Quiet Parts Out Loud expands outward — louder, sharper, and built for communal listening.

Anchored by driving guitars, melodic restraint, and incisive lyrics, the album moves from the indie-rock bite of “Don’t” to the cathartic protest of “Put Some Music On,” and the anti-capitalist romance of “Make Love.” Across the record, Miller explores what happens when personal truth collides with cultural overload — the pressure to perform, explain, and speak before you’re ready. The title track captures that tension plainly: the demand to say the quiet parts out loud.

Born in Columbus, Ohio, Miller began releasing music as a teenager, independently crowdfunding and releasing projects that charted on iTunes, touring nationally, and opening for artists including Ed Sheeran, Passenger, Cage The Elephant, and Young the Giant — all before the age of 22. Her work has been featured by The Washington Post, The Today Show, Modern Luxury, People Magazine, CMT, and Billboard.

Now a full-time songwriter and producer in Nashville, Miller continues to build a body of work that values clarity, courage, and connection over polish alone. Quiet Parts Out Loud positions her at the intersection of modern folk, indie rock, and socially conscious pop — music built to move both bodies and conversations.

Quiet Parts Out Loud is available now on all streaming platforms.
