New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Boot-stomping beauty and breakout Country singer/songwriter Jess Kellie Adams released a new music video for her recent single, "
Homemade" on Aug. 25. "
Homemade" was seen first on The
Heartland Network and is the latest single off her upcoming EP. The single was produced by Lonestar's founding member Dean Sams and co-written with Dean Sams and
Lauren Mascitti.
"When I received the finished video from TapeSlate Productions I was moved to tears. 'Homemade' is my story and the perfect introduction to me. They brought my story to life in only three minutes, and seeing it represented in that way felt like a warm hug. I was raised by a loving single mom who protected me from the challenges she faced. Later in life, she shared memories of going to her car on lunch breaks to break down in tears before putting on a brave face and going back into work. She bravely rose to the occasion on a daily basis. My hope is to one day be at least half the woman she is. Like the song says at the end of the first verse, 'With daddy gone we were alone, some might say I was cheated. But they were wrong all along, I had everything I needed.'"
Through the music video, fans get an exclusive look behind the curtain of this touring artist's life. Jess welcomes fans into her home and her heart by filming the video in a house that resembles the one she grew up with. Old home videos are inserted throughout the video, where a young Jess runs around, joyful and free. We learn how growing up with a single mom strengthened her ambition and determination to succeed. As the video ends, viewers are left feeling empowered to embrace their own past and reach their goals, as Jess is called by her tour manager to take the stage in front of a roaring crowd.

The accompanying visuals are especially touching when paired with lyrics such as,
"I was raised in a house where love was found
And your word always stood for something
Mama worked twice as hard to go half as far
But I never had to want for nothin
God was my salvation
He gave me strength when the haters were hatin'
Stone by stone my whole foundation was laid
I was Homemade"
