Jensyn’s “Not the Same” Hits Where It Hurts
With “Not the Same”, Jensyn has crafted a breakup anthem that doesn’t beg for closure — it mourns the absence of it. This isn’t the sound of plates smashing or angry texts at 2am; it’s the quiet devastation of a love that dissolved with no final scene, no obvious villain. The opening line, “Hate me, make it easy for me”, lays the emotional cards on the table immediately — and what follows is a heart-wrecking, genre-blending journey through grief that feels both specific and universal.
Sonically, Jensyn threads a needle between restraint and release. The verses float gently with choral harmonies, minimalist piano, and atmospheric electronics, capturing that liminal space between tears and numbness. Just when you think the track will stay suspended in sadness, the chorus bursts in — shimmering guitars, lush strings (courtesy of Rachel Dover), and Jensyn’s voice, still soft but urgent, rising through the fog. It’s not a drop, it’s a wave.
There’s something hauntingly cinematic about this track — it plays out like the slow-motion climax of an indie film where nothing gets resolved, but everything is felt. That emotional richness is amplified by the subtle yet powerful contributions from pianist Niamh Mailer and mastering engineer James Wyatt. Every element sounds intentional, every note just aching to be noticed.
But what really sets “Not the Same” apart is Jensyn’s ability to hold space for contradiction: sorrow and frustration, peace and confusion. There’s no dramatic monologue here, no narrative arc that ties everything in a bow. Instead, Jensyn leaves us exactly where they are — mid-process, mid-feeling, mid-song — and somehow, that makes the emotion hit even harder.
In a world full of breakup tracks begging to be shouted in the car, “Not the Same” invites you to sit in silence, feel the ache, and maybe, just maybe, let it wash over you. It’s a quiet triumph — and a bold step in Jensyn’s evolution as an alt-pop storyteller.

International Songwriter Mickey Wynne Releases New Book The 14-Day Songwriter on May 30, 2025
A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing, Recording, and Marketing Your Own Song in Just Two Weeks
Acclaimed international songwriter Mickey Wynne announces the release of his new book, The 14-Day Songwriter, a practical and inspiring guide designed to help aspiring and experienced musicians craft a complete song—from concept to recording and marketing—in as little as 14 days.
Based on Wynne’s extensive global career as a performer, composer, and producer, The 14-Day Songwriter breaks down the creative process into 14 clear and manageable steps, walking readers through every phase of songwriting—from choosing a theme, to writing lyrics and melody, to demo production, and final recording.
While structured over a 14-day period, Wynne emphasizes the method is flexible, adaptable to any schedule or working style. “Some readers may work through it in two weeks, others in a month, or even a weekend if they’re booking a studio session,” says Wynne. “It’s not about speed—it’s about clarity and creative momentum.”
This book is for:
Beginners who have never written a song but have always dreamed of doing so
Experienced songwriters seeking a fresh approach to jumpstart creativity
Music industry professionals—from managers to record executives—interested in better understanding the songwriter’s process
Mickey Wynne’s musical roots run deep. Taught guitar by his father at age six, he began writing music by nine and formed his first band while still at school—famously teaching Julian Lennon to play guitar. Since then, his career has taken him around the world, working in:
London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios with the Wiseguys
Karachi, Pakistan, where he co-created the televised play Ad Man’s Dream
New York City, serving as house writer for MCA/Uni Records
Nashville, collaborating with The Pioneers, a project with The Who’s John Entwistle
And creative hubs across Mexico, Hamburg, Sydney, and Singapore
With decades of firsthand experience and a rare international perspective, Wynne has distilled the essential tools and techniques of songwriting into a method that is engaging, insightful, and empowering.
The 14-Day Songwriter will be available starting May 30, 2025 online via Amazon
