Phase

Description

Years before she toured the world alongside Alicia Keys, wrote songs with John Legend, belted the Southern rhythm and blues with Muddy Magnolias and kicked off a solo career with 2019s Phase, Jessy Wilson grew up in Brooklyn, listening to the diverse sounds that filled her familys apartment. Written and recorded with producer Patrick Carney drummer for the Black Keys, as well as the driving force behind that bands percussive stomp Phase brews up its own storm of soulful sound. Its a modern album rooted in everything that made the old stuff good: the R&B melodies of the late 1960s and 70s; the pulsating grooves of hip-hop; the urban commentary and subtlety of Curtis Mayfield; fuzz guitar inspired by the crème de la crème of psychedelic rock; the irresistible, genre-bending of artists like The Beatles. Gritty and progressive, Phase reintroduces Jessy Wilson as weve never heard her before: undiluted, unaccompanied and unleashed.
