Jessie Reid, the Shropshire-born singer-songwriter, weaves impressive fingerstyle guitar playing together with soulful, emotive vocal melodies. Having released two demo singles earlier this year, she caught the attention of music journalists and was subsequently shortlisted for the Glastonbury Emerging Talent competition. Jessie Reid’s folk-influenced, percussive fingerstyle guitar playing has drawn comparisons with the likes of Ben Howard and Nick Mulvey.
A potent and fervent vocal release captivates us immediately on “Wake Up,” the new single from Jessie Reid. Swaying amidst tactile acoustic guitar plucking, Reid is shocking in her range and sheer ability to deliver timeless lyrics. “Wake Up” radiates color and emits a sense of 90’s throwback design where harmonic guitar touchings tint the sonic spectrum as cutting violin lines paint the sky.
