About:
‘Spotlight’ sees Jessie return to where she belongs and entirely on her own terms, pulling back the curtain and unveiling what she has been so passionately creating over the last two years. ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ is a thank you to those long-term fans for sticking by her. Serving up a divine slice of elegant Nu Disco, 'Spotlight' is an incisive, refreshingly positive throwback that channels the energy of classic funk and dance.
The album recording process has been a transformative period for Jessie that has seen her reconnect with her roots. ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ at its core is an album that is rooted in club culture and explores the themes of femininity, freedom of imagination and escapism. The album contains credits from Kindness, her close friends Danny Parker, Shungudzo Kuyimba Clarence Coffee Jr., producers and DJs Benji B, Midland, Morgan Geist (Storm Queen), Matthew Tavares, the unmistakable guitar twangs of Metronomy’s Joseph Mount and James Ford from what has become the album’s creative centre - his home in London.
With four BRIT-nominations plus a Mercury Prize nomination and three top-ten albums under her belt, Jessie has proven her status as one of the UK’s most influential artists. Her return with the dancefloor ready ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ feels like an artist in control while capturing the essence of nostalgia to keep the spirit of clubbing music alive.
