Jessenation Perspective on FINE LADY

I’m Jessenation, a music artist and lyricist with a passion for creating vibrant, energetic tunes that celebrate love, life, and culture. My music often blends English and Nigerian Pidgin, bringing a unique flavor to the themes of parties, celebration, and admiration. My latest project, the album 'GRACE: Genuine Rhythms And Creative Energy,' showcases my dedication to authentic and creative musical expressions. Beyond music, I'm also involved in promoting natural beauty and community development through campaigns like #fineladybyjessenation, in collaboration with THEPENGPROJECT NFP.

My background heavily influences my music, including this song. Growing up immersed in both Nigerian and Western cultures, I blend these influences to create a unique sound. The song reflects the vibrant energy and celebratory spirit of Nigerian parties, infused with themes of love and admiration that resonate universally. My experience as a lyricist shines through in the rich, poetic language that combines English and Nigerian Pidgin, giving the song an authentic and relatable vibe. This blend of cultural influences and personal experiences creates a distinct and powerful musical expression that is true to who I am as Jessenation.

My earliest memory of listening to music is from when I was a child, growing up in Nigeria. I vividly remember the lively sounds of reggae and Afrobeat playing at family gatherings and local celebrations. These moments were filled with joy and a sense of community, as music brought everyone together to dance and celebrate. The rhythm and energy of these early musical experiences left a lasting impression on me, sparking my passion for creating music that embodies the same spirit of togetherness and celebration.

 
I decided to become an artist during my high school and college years, but it was during the pandemic that I truly began to pursue my music career. The lockdowns and isolation provided me with the time and space to focus on my passion, leading me to fully embrace my artistic journey and create the music I've always wanted to share with the world.

This release falls into the genre of Afrobeat, infused with elements of reggae and contemporary pop. It's a vibrant blend that reflects the rich cultural influences of my Nigerian heritage while incorporating modern, energetic rhythms that resonate with a global audience.

Over the past three years, my sound has evolved significantly. Initially, my music was more focused on raw, energetic vibes with a strong emphasis on reggae and Afrobeat. As I've grown as an artist, I've started to incorporate a wider range of influences, including contemporary pop and electronic elements, to create a more polished and dynamic sound.

My lyrics have also matured, delving deeper into themes of love, admiration, and cultural pride while maintaining the celebratory and party-like atmosphere that my listeners enjoy. Collaborating with other artists and producers has expanded my musical horizons, allowing me to experiment with new sounds and production techniques. This evolution reflects my journey of self-discovery and artistic growth, resulting in a more refined and versatile musical style.
