Alt-pop provocateur Jessica Winter announced her debut album, My First Album, set for release on Friday 11th July via Lucky Number. The album artwork and tracklisting can be found below.
Also announced today is the release of Jessica’s second single from the album, ‘All I Ever Really Wanted’, which follows the monumentally successful first single, ‘L.O.V.E.’, which was released in February of this year. The lyric video for ‘All I Ever Really Wanted’, which has been directed by Ella Margolin, is available to watch below. Jessica has also announced various in-store live dates, set to take place in July 2025.
Speaking about her new single, ‘All I Ever Wanted’, Jessica said:
“When fantastical expectations are set so high, reality will always feel like a disappointment. As an artist, fantasising is part of the process but it can have a negative impact when you’re forever fantasising and lose appreciation for the real stuff. It’s a sound of life imploding whilst in delusional euphoria.”
On ‘All I Ever Really Wanted’, Jessica creates yet another alt-pop anthem, channeling pop aesthetics from across the decades. At the core of the track are addictive pop beats, audacious hooks, and glitter, flamboyance, and rawness in equal measure. Relentlessly inventive, with her new single Jessica does what she has done for her whole career and takes a multitude of influences and stamps her unique, unmistakable ‘Jessica Winter’ sound across them.
Speaking about her debut album, Jessica said:
“‘My First Album’ is conceptually about ‘somebody’ aspiring to be a star and wanting to fill the void deep inside herself. Along the way there are various diversions and adventures, involving people, places, and things. Ultimately, however, she is on a journey of self-discovery and realisation, and that all she really needs is to love herself.”
