Jess Young shares new single ‘Fathers’
Jess Young may be up and coming in the music scene, but her bold, emotive songwriting and her nostalgic, soulful sound will transport you into a wanderlust of the mind, body and spirit. Entirely self-produced, this is just the first chapter of her story in the lead up to her first self released EP.
A cinematic composition with a warm yet eerie timbre and hip-hop influences, ‘Fathers’ explores Young’s estranged relationship with her dad and experiences with masculinity.
“The language barriers and generations between us means I was never fully able to have a deep conversation with my dad, so this letter to him is my outlet," explains Jess. "The song is me realising how my relationship with my father has influenced my adulthood, particularly romantic situations. I want to speak for those who haven’t had that experience of having a male figure present in their lives.”
