Singer-songwriter Jen West used a rippling creek running through a lush, green forest as a backdrop to shoot the video for her latest single “Reborn.” It’s a good setting as West — who performs on acoustic guitar and ukulele — has a sound as big as nature and writes sharp, introspective songs drawn from experience in the living world. Another single, “Scar,” featured on her YouTube channel, was shot on a sunny hillside under a leafy tree. “This song is about how the things that scar us in life shape who we’ve become,” she notes. “And to not be bogged down by regrets.”
