As amazingly excellent melanin-laced magic continues to rumble and cause frenzied madness in art, politics, film and culture in general this month, another black girl, Jessica Childress, is casting a spell on us with the release of her highly-anticipated debut album, “Days”.
Along with her release, the songstress shared an exclusive behind-the-scenes “Dialogue” video for her brand new single “Broken” which is also include on the album.
The former PR professional flaunts a sound reminiscent of the golden age of classic soul, with an enormous voice that combines traditional R&B with a rock n’ roll energy. Following her national music debut on Season 4 of NBC’s The Voice, she released a self-written and produced EP called “Don’t Forget My Name.”
Jessica developed her debut album with producer Callum Connor (Anderson .Paak producer/DJ), producer/drummer Alex Elena (Alice Smith, Citizen Cope) and producer/guitarist Topher Mohr (Mayer Hawthorne).
The first single, “Far Away”, was released on SoulTracks.com and debuted on Apple Music (#2) and iTunes R&B Hot Tracks. It has since been continually spun on tastemaker radio stations like KCRW as well as retail environments like Forever 21, Victoria’s Secret Pink and Walgreens coast to coast.
