With a soulful voice that will raise your spirits and funky bass lines that will rattle your bones, this is Jessi Markee. The Croydon protégé has a lovely new album rising in the iTunes charts (“All I hear is…”) and a vivid future ahead of her – if the world will just slow down to take the time to listen. From the opening lines of the bouncing ‘Remember When’ to the closing grooves of ‘Tongue Tied’, Jessi delivers happy-go-lucky vibes together with intelligent lyrics and a warm heart. But it’s hardly surprising that she knows how to pack a musical punch. Her father Dave was a heavyweight contender himself, throwing down bass tracks in his day for everyone from Eric Clapton to Joan Armatrading. Recorded in Croydon but mixed all the way across the Atlantic in Canada, ‘All I hear is…’ is a thoughtful, considered and highly polished work that will appeal to anyone who relishes the finer things in life – but who still has an ear for a perfect pop tune. Tracks included on the album have all been firmly established and carefully honed in Jessi’s live repertoire over the last few years of playing clubs and festivals around London and the South East. Several of the songs have had earlier releases on EP’s, but this is the first time that the studio collection has been brought together in one place. Although the album is already out and shifting fast there will be an official launch party at Scream Lounge on Saturday 14 May. |
