Fresh from her appearance at Sydney Fashion Week, New Zealand artist JessB has released her latest single, 'Commando', via Say Less and Warner Music Australia. 'Commando' arrives the latest single from JessB's upcoming debut album, 'Feels Like Home'.
Written in Amsterdam and produced by M.O.W Music, 'Commando' is a fun, upbeat track that contrasts with the more serious themes explored in JessB's other recent work.
"During the week I was there in the studio, the writing that I was doing all felt like it was more ‘serious’ in terms of lyrical content, so this was just a chance for me to have some fun," JessB shares. "Half Queen was in the studio with me when this song was created - she actually came up with a couple of lines in the song which was fun!"
"Feels Like Home is a marker in my journey that has been and is still evolving," JessB says of the album. "Navigating a career in music, whilst also navigating finding identity & self simultaneously. One could not have expanded without the other. For me, the music that has been created over the last 4 years for this album is a direct reflection of the changing sounds of my life. It has been a process of finding a home in how I see myself & how I choose to show up in the world.”
The 12-track album features previous releases such as 'Moment' feat. Kranium, 'Ring Ring' feat. Gold Fang, 'Hold Me Down' and triple j's latest Full Add 'Come Find Me'. JessB collaborated with a range of producers for the album, including Brandon Jonak, IAMMXO, MOW Music, Open Till L8 and TUZI.
JessB is one of New Zealand's most influential artists, with collaborations with Saweetie, Doja Cat, G Flip and Baker Boy under her belt. She has amassed over 20 million streams across her catalogue and has received praise from music and culture tastemakers such as Afropunk, Acclaim, NME, Sniffers and VICE. JessB is also a dynamic live performer, having played at major festivals such as SXSW, The Great Escape, Listen Out and Laneway, and shared the stage with international artists such as Stormzy, Kehlani and Genesis Owusu.
With her debut album set to drop in the coming weeks, 2024 is shaping up to be a big year for JessB.
