JESSICA WILDE BODY

Jessica Wilde’s take on UK R&B is refreshingly personal. ‘Body’ is a tribute to self-love and empowerment as she leaves behind the role that society gives her. While writing the track, she pondered: “Why did I keep attracting these guys who only seemed to care how my body could please them? Why don’t I celebrate my body instead of looking to them to validate me?”. Musically, she has delivered a piece that allows subtle beats to remain at the bottom of the texture and give the focus to her impressive vocal range, while also giving beautifully melodic saxophone the opportunity to tour the background. -Dan Peeke
