Emerging Irish Pop Artist Jess Young – releases infectious pop single ‘Heartbreak Vacation’

Meet Jess Young, an Irish artist based in London making waves in the pop scene. Mentored by music legends Tom Allom (Black Sabbath) and Nigel Heath (Downton Abbey), her unreleased single “Wasted” was
featured on major shows like Cold Feet, Marriage, and a hit US Netflix drama.

Her debut solo single “Wilderness” (produced by Jungleboi) earned BBC airplay and praise like
“That’s got Bond theme written all over it.” Her follow-up track “Bury Us” was BBC Introducing
Berkshire’s Track of the Week. She’s also been featured on BBC Wales, Soho Radio, and spotlighted
by Hot Press as ‘one to watch.’ Vocally, she draws comparisons to Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, and
Stevie Nicks.

With her new hit ‘Heartbreak Vacation’ on the horizon, Jess is now looking to bring her support to Irish soil.

HEARTBREAK VACATION

Have you ever run away to a tropical island just to get away from a guy you were falling for? I have. Heartbreak Vacation is an upbeat pop tune laced with a sexy bass line and shimmering synths, and tells the true story of an artist’s desperate attempt to remove herself from a toxic situation. It’s a tale as old as time: Girl meets Boy, Girl recognizes Boy is a player, but it’s too late and she’s fallen for him and she can’t get herself unstuck from him. Not until – she gets a ticket to an island far away to literally remove herself from the situation. Written with producer/ writer Mezz (James Blunt, Two Another) and up-and-coming pop star/ songwriter Michaela, Heartbreak Vacation is the first of a run of singles that Jess Young will be releasing in 2025 and 2026. The Irish singer-songwriter took a short break (perhaps a literal “Heartbreak Vacation” ??) from releasing to develop further after her music was on BBC Wales, placed on BBC and ITV series’, and had collaborated with Drum and Bass heavyweight Rene La Vice. Here she is back – starting with Heartbreak Vacation.
