New York City’s Jessica 6 melds soul music with a pulsating electronic disco sheen and uncompromising R&B. Today she’s released a new track ‘Prisoner Of Love’ MP3 Featuring Antony (of Antony and the Johnsons) as a FREE download, click the link below. It’s lifted from her forthcoming album ‘See the Light Album’ out through Peacefrog Records on June 6, 2011.
New York City’s Jessica 6 creates soul music in its purest form, no matter the tempo. Their debut album, ‘See The Light’, moves from pulsating electronic sheen to uncompromisingly rugged R&B, and back again. The band released the stunning debut single and anthem-in-waiting ‘White Horse’ last month. Now fans can hear the new track, ‘Prisoner Of Love’ which bridges electro and freestyle, featuring a soaring vocal melody that finds Nomi and guest vocalist Antony weaving their voices around each other to a stunning effect.
Jessica 6 is fronted by the beguiling and beautiful chanteuse Nomi Ruiz. Equal parts high-fashion and street smart, her smoky, emotive vocals are matched by her spellbinding style. Her lyrics create a world full of enraptured lovers, endless nights, fame-seekers, and broken hearts. Bassist Andrew Raposo and keyboardist, Morgan Wiley deftly meld disco, hip-hop, electro and classic house, commanding you to dance while simultaneously making your heart sink.
See The Light opens with a classic-in-waiting, the behemoth of a single, ‘White Horse’, that forces you to move like a witch doctor would. ‘Champagne Bubbles’ is the kind of gritty R&B that isn’t afraid to be as angry as it is melancholic, its piano flourishes punctuated with a heavy kick and snare. Their debut single ‘Fun Girl’ a tale of desperation, fame and money, has a sinister keyboard melody that underscores the lyrics.
With See The Light, Jessica 6 have created a raw portrait of life in the city and of all the highs and lows that come with it. The album takes you from your stoop to the dance floor, eventually landing you in the back of a cab as the day is breaking.
