Jessica Sole is gearing up for a big new chapter, and she kicked it off with “Homesick,” a heartfelt single that threads nostalgia, longing, and a classic coming-of-age glow into one of her most affecting tracks yet.
Written by a powerhouse trio of songwriters — Madeline Merlo, Victoria Banks, and Sam Ellis — “Homesick” is a reflective, soft-edged country track that finds its emotional weight in memory.
It’s a song that feels lived-in … the kind you play with your elbow out a rolled-down window, heading toward a place you haven’t been in years but still call “home.”

A Rising Star With Momentum to Burn
Sole has spent the past few years firmly establishing herself as one to watch.
Her breakout single “Lightning Strikes” made waves nationwide, fuelled by explosive TikTok engagement and early support from Apple Music (Canada’s Country, New In Country) and Amazon Music (Just North of Nashville, Fresh Country).
That momentum follows a stacked run in 2024, a year that saw Sole surpass 450,000 digital streams, 4.5 million TikTok views, and earn her first #1 on SiriusXM’s Top of the Country Radio with “Heads Up.” Before that, “Fallin’ For You” landed her prime editorial placements on Apple Music and Amazon Music, including a playlist cover on Amazon’s Breakthrough Country.
A Live Performer With Staying Power
Beyond streaming success, Sole has built her fanbase the old-fashioned way: by hitting stages across the country. She’s showcased at both the 2024 and 2025 CCMAs as part of Country Crawl and the Fender Showcase, while also performing at standout events like the CNE Country Stage, Thunder Bay’s Live on the Waterfront, Blue Mountain Countryfest, and Canada Day in Milton.
Each performance has carved out more space for her undeniable stage presence … something that’s becoming a hallmark of her rise.
Looking Ahead to What’s Next
With two EPs already behind her, Sole is deep into crafting her next evolution of music … a project slated for 2026 with producers Dan Swinimer and CMAO-nominated Matt Koebel. If “Homesick” is any indication, the next era of Jessica Sole is shaping up to be her most personal and compelling yet.
In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
