Jessie's album release at the intimate venue Plan B yesterday was phenomenal. A nice older gentleman (a family friend of the singer herself) asked us why everyone liked her so much. "Because she can hold the attention of everyone in the room without needing to shout." It sounds simple, but apparently having a beautiful vocal tone without screaming is a dying art. Not to mention, she really is a romantic. The album is a nostalgic blend of 90s soul and R'n'B. Ask the couple eating each other's faces in my personal space last night. It was a room full of love and familiar faces (Jack Penate, Julio Bashmore, SBTRKT) but that was only sideline to her absolutely sublime talents and the mood that her and her band set.
