COLUMBUS, OHIO - Only good things can happen when two people love each other and love music. For Tre Nash and Jenesis, a ten-track album, “To the Sky and Back,” is the result - a combination of pop vibes mixed with R&B and hip-hop tracks.
“The album is the story of love. There are really good times and bad times when you think of love. You’re going to the sky when everything is working, but then there are times when you fall to the ground. It’s a cycle that goes up and down,” said Tre Nash.
The cycle begins with the first track, “To the Sky,” where the duo takes listeners on a journey to the sky. Momentum builds through the LP until reaching a climax, but listeners are transported back to earth – falling.
With an upbeat hook, “See Them Up” showcases their rapping abilities describing how far the couple has come, navigating past obstacles, and sharing their love. It is a celebration song with Jenesis calling for everyone to put their hands in the air. The studio performance on YouTube has more than 6.5K views.
Written by Jenesis, “Give Me Your Soul” is the opposite of “See Them Up.” Diving deeper into their relationship, the song is about a woman who is not satisfied with the day-to-day king of love. Using her soulful voice, Jenesis represents all women when she says she wants all of her guy. An example of how they connect to fans, the live studio performance has more than 9.7K views.
Unlike many duos in today’s music, Tre Nash and Jenesis crossover to different genres that lend to each musician’s strength. Tre Nash bridges off 70s rock and combines modern-day pop, R&B, and hip hop into his sound. At the same time, Jenesis is a natural R&B singer with jazz undertones. The combination of Tre Nash and Jenesis creates their sound, which is versatile, catchy, and unique.
Jenesis is a 17-year-old music prodigy who began playing piano and singing at age five. Her songwriting, singing, and piano perfection are displayed on the album. “I like to push the limits and be on the cutting edge,” she said. “I am very passionate about music.”
Tre Nash is a 19-year-old guitarist who plays as effortlessly as Prince. His musical versatility gives listeners “an experience you won’t find anywhere else,” he said. “When you listen to our music, you hear something you can only find by listening to us.”
While both artists were making music individually before they became a couple, Jenesis said, “I knew from the start it would happen that we’d make music.”
Agreeing with Jenesis, Tre Nash said, “I thought we would collab together but not make an album.”
As more fans discover Tre Nash and Jenesis, it is becoming clear that their diversity on their debut album, “To the Sky and Back,” is a collection of musical geniuses from two rising artists in the industry.

Welcome to SOUND ADVICE, the weekly home for playlists assembled by the friends, rivals and romantic interests of Interview. Recent editions have featured selections from After, Soulwax, and 1LDK. Taking over this week is the much loved rock quartet Weezer. After building a catalog that includes the color themed albums Blue, Green, Red, White, Teal, and Black, the Los Angeles group is expanding its palette once again with a new release titled Gold. The record blends carefully constructed pop melodies with rough edged rock energy, recalling the sound of the band’s earliest years. Before unveiling their first album in four years and beginning a North American tour, the members created a collection of personal favorites and overlooked gems for us. Moving from Beethoven sonatas to classic Van Halen tracks from the 1980s, their choices reflect the wide ranging tastes of the musicians themselves. They then answered our questionnaire, revealing what they listen to before taking the stage, clearing up their views on ghosting, and explaining what they really make of Gen Z.
What do you listen to before hitting the stage?
SCOTT SHRINER: I usually do not listen to music before we play. I do vocal warmups and go through any of the songs in our set that need practicing.
RIVERS CUOMO: Nature sounds, like birds and creeks and waterfalls.
Dream fifth member of the band, dead or alive?
PATRICK WILSON: 4 is plenty!
CUOMO: Matt Sharp
Favorite album: Blue, Green, Red, White, Teal, Black or Gold?
SHRINER: Fave color album is Red.
One of your songs off the new album is titled “Don’t Make It Weird.” What’s the fastest way someone can make things weird?
BRIAN BELL: I think ghosting someone ranks up there with weird and abhorrent behavior.
CUOMO: Say the first thing that pops into your mind.
Which song is going to surprise longtime fans the most?
CUOMO: “C.E.O.” because we interpolate ourselves.
BELL: The song that will surprise most Weezer fans is “The Show Must Go On.” It’s a good driving song, and while it might sound familiar, it will also take you to very unexpected places.
Which artist are you streaming the most right now?
CUOMO: Binaural beats.
Which city has the most unhinged Weezer fans?
SHRINER: I’m going with Mexico City for most unhinged W fans.
Thoughts on Gen Z?
CUOMO: They value different kinds of people.
WILSON: They’re great! Two of my kids are Gen Z! The way I’m like, “No, because same!”
