Jen Urban. Get it before the album goes on sale in the New Year!

In “On the Move,” buzzy synths and punchy disco drums create a bright, youthful and fun vibe somewhere between an upbeat Phil Collins track and Ke$ha. On lead vocals, Jen Urban brings sass and sparkle to her portrayal of a fun-loving protagonist who literally doesn’t know how to slow down – and likes it that way.
