Today, Aotearoa’s JessB releases her highly awaited debut album Feels Like Home – via Say Less and Warner Music Australia.

Across the 12 track album — which feature guest appearances from Kranium, Sister Nancy, Sampa The Great and Gold Fang — JessB taps into not only the intimate and personal essence of the physical definition of ‘home’, but also the mental and emotional embodiment of the refuge and sanctuary that is finding herself as a person.

“It wasn’t ever about what the music sounded like – it wasn’t like I was naming it that because of the music,” JessB explains of the background behind the album title and themes. “FEELS LIKE HOME can mean so many different things. I think it’s about feeling at home with where you’re at, where you’ve come from, and where you’re going. So it’s kind of like a past, present, future thing – where it’s constantly moving and changing.” 

Speaking further on her debut album JessB said: “Feels Like Home is a marker in my journey that has been and is still evolving. Navigating a career in music, whilst also navigating finding identity and self simultaneously. One could not have expanded without the other. For me, the music that has been created over the last 4 years for this album is a direct reflection of the changing sounds of my life. It has been a process of finding a home in how I see myself and how I choose to show up in the world.” 

The album focus track ‘Power,’ produced by Aotearoa avant-garde hip-hop artist WHO SHOT SCOTT, features vocals from dancehall legacy artist Sister Nancy and Zambian Hip Hop artist Sampa The Great. The track has thumping bass lines and knocking percussion that carry a bossed-up tone for the power trio to spit over with pride.
