York singer Jessica Steel released her debut album ‘Higher Frequencies’ in October last year and she will be preforming it live in full for the first time 07/05/23.
The vocalist is one of the most popular to regularly feature in York’s charity-raising ‘A Night to Remember’ events, and has been working on the 12-track album for the past few years.
“We delved into quite a few different musical styles,” says Jessica.
“But one similarity between all of the tracks is that they’re pop songs which draw from life experience.
“There’s an interesting contrast between uplifting music and sad lyrics throughout the album, as well as a recurring theme of finding hope through adversity.”
Jessica’s soulful vocals have been compared to Florence Walsh and Lady Gaga, although her singing style is most definitely her own.
Musically, ‘Higher Frequencies’ takes inspiration from the 70s, 80s and 90s, right up to the modern day.
Every song here has been lovingly crafted, from the opening track ‘You Don’t know Me’, with its rousing brass hook and defiant message, to the heartfelt ballad ‘Odds and Ends’ with its haunting piano.
The songs were written and produced by Andy Firth who was previously in Britpop band The Dandys.
“I see it as Fleetwood Mac or Kate Bush for the 21st Century”, says Jessica.
“I worked with Andy before as part of the band Deltawave, so we found making this new album a really easy process”.
‘Higher Frequencies’ by Jessica Steel is out now on all streaming platforms as well as download on iTunes, Amazon and various other providers.
