Jessica Winter – releases her sensational new single ‘Big Star’

Alt-pop provocateur Jessica Winter releases her sensational new single ‘Big Star’, out now via Lucky Number. ‘Big Star’ is the fifth single taken from Jessica’s upcoming debut album, My First Album, which is set for release this week on Friday 11th July. The music video for ‘Big Star’ was directed by Roger Spy and is available to watch below.

On ‘Big Star’, Jessica creates a soon-to-be iconic cult pop anthem. Channeling 00s aesthetics and addictive dance-pop beats, the new single is endlessly addictive. 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.
 
“This song sums up the album for me, perhaps it’s a reminder to anyone on their quest for fame and fortune to remember that you are who you are, and you don’t have to be on a huge stage with loads of people applauding or liking you on socials to have real value in this life.  Perhaps it’s an expose on living a life in this industry which is all about making it and all about your success moments, but we have success moments everyday depending on how you look at it. The way I constructed My First Album wasn’t with the intention of major cosigns and celebrity, I wanted to create something authentically me that allowed for exposure and vulnerability and I believe I have achieved that.”
 

On My First Album there are shades of Kylie Minogue and the glitter of 80s Madonna, there’s the flamboyance of Prince and Queen and there’s energy and occasional snarl of punk and the dreamy arched-eyebrow of psychedelia. Jessica has to date released four singles from the album, ‘L.O.V.E.’, ‘All I Ever Really Wanted’, ‘Wannabe’, ‘Aftersun’, and ‘Big Star’.
