Jackie Lynn – "Casino Queen"

Jackie Lynn is the fictional alter ego and side project Circuit des Yeux mastermind Haley Fohr. Her 2016 self-titled debut under the moniker told the story Jackie’s life on the run, and that story will continue this year with the release the new album Jacqueline in April.

On Jacqueline , Fohr is backed up by a band consisting Cooper Crain, Rob Frye, and Dan Quinlivan Bitchin Bajas. Each track on the LP depicts a day in Jackie Lynn’s solitary life on the road, and today we’re getting our first taste with the f-kilter synth-pop lead single “Casino Queen” and its Krzys Piotrowski- and Fohr-directed video.

“‘Casino Queen’ showcases a night in the life Jacqueline,” Fohr explains. “The song and video follow the letting go an individual’s underdog mentality, realigning it with the winner’s place. What does it take to refocus one’s internal mirror and become a Casino Queen? All in due time shall we each define ourselves prosperous by way intuition, self belief, nearby shoulders, a bit luck, and maybe a wig.”
