Songs for Jess
By rights Jess Roberts shouldnt posses this voice. How can a white girl from Sunderland sing with such raw emotion? The simple answer is Soul. If class is a state of mind, Soul is an emotion, an attitude to life, something which can never be learnt or indoctrinated, it comes from the heart then up through the throat. Jess takes her influence from lineage of strong, independent female vocalists, think Janis Joplin transforming 'Take another little piece of my heart' from a plea into a demand, Dusty Springfield belting out 'You really got a hold on me' yet she is far from the production line plastic imitations of today's charts. Whether ripping up northern soul with Smoove, funking with Monty Casino, performing intimate acoustic songs with Freakflag or her songs on this page, you can be sure Jess means every word.All comments (1)
