Two words are on the lips of every ‘new music fan’ in the country. Two words are sprawled across countless publications (including this one). Two words have come to describe excellence in fusing Dance, Soul and pop.
If you haven’t listened to her stellar debut
album, Devotion, then I imagine you’ve at least heard her name. After all, not only has it been
nominated for MOBO awards, Brit Awards, and the Mercury Prize, but she’s also attached it to a number of collaborations – including tracks with SBTRKT, Sampha, Joker, and Katy B.
In fact, Jessie is somewhat a social and musical butterfly. She discovered her love of making
music a few years back when she toured as a backing vocalist for her pal Jack Peñate.
It’s a wonder the bug didn’t bite her sooner – another pal of hers is Adele and she lived with Felix from the Maccabees for some time too, but she was too busy studying English Literature at university, and
then spending time as a journalist, to explore her potential as a singer.
It’s a good job she eventually did. Her voice has the power to caress you
like a midnight-blue velvet blanket. She has the rare gift of effortlessly conveying genuine emotion. Her songs downbeat, but in no way depressing…
… In fact, she’s charming and
enchanting and funny. She’s a London lass, born in Clapham,
living in Brixton, on a journey to the top of her game, enjoying the huge peaks along the way
