[nx_pullquote]“I met a girl, she’s from out of town,”[/nx_pullquote] alternative Canadian singer-songwriter Jenna Doe informs us on her single, “U-HAUL”. Uh-oh! She adds, “She’s been calling my number / Wants me to meet her mother / She’s a Ferrari that I want to slow down.” Oh, snap! You know what they say, lesbian relationships move fast, particularly U-Hauling. Doe captures a potential fast-moving relationship perfectly in this song. “U-HAUL” was written by Doe, Samuel Bierman, and Hannah Avison, and produced by Bierman.  Notably, my favorite gay podcast, Gayish, recorded an intriguing episode on U-Hauling.

Jenna Doe wants to slow things down, breaking the lesbian stereotypes. But this girl has other plans. She’s put her foot on the gas pedal. “She gets kinda possessive,” Doe sings in the second verse, and admits, “Don’t know why, but it keeps turning me on.” Ooh-wee! It’s giving mixed messages, Jenna! In the pre-chorus, she mentions “playing house,” and asserts, “She’s got our whole future planned out.” D-d-damn! Still, in the crowning achievement, the chorus, she shares her reservations about falling fast and refuses to rent the U-Haul!

“I just wanna kiss girls on the weekend

So caught up in other expectations

Couple bottles then she wanna

Be the one to take me home

But I know it’s too soon for me to fall

I’m not renting the U-Haul.”

The question is, will she ultimately end up renting that U-Haul 🤔? Whether she does or does not, Jenna Doe delivers an entertaining lesbian alternative gem with “U-HAUL”. She sings expressively with sincerity, debunking the stereotype… for the most part.  Doe wants to have fun with girls, but she’s not ready to move in just yet, and there’s nothing wrong with that.  Commitment is hard, and you must be ready for it.  Supported by a rocking backdrop, Jenna Doe puts in work 🤘.
