New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Alt-pop provocateur Jessica Winter has released her incredible new single and music video, 'L.O.V.E.', out now via Lucky Number. It is her first solo music release since her exceptional and critically acclaimed 2023 EP, Limerence. Also announced is a London headline show at The Divine on Tuesday 15th April.
On 'L.O.V.E.', Jessica Winter creates a vibrant pop anthem that channels 00's aesthetics and addictive dance-pop beats which is sure to be an all time classic. 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. The accompanying video was inspired by Bob Fosse's seminal 1983 film, Star 80, and sees Jessica undergoing a photoshoot in the backdrop of her home.
Speaking about 'L.O.V.E.', Jessica Winter said "I wrote this song a year before realising I was a codependent; sometimes my music knows more than I do… I wanted to capture the feeling of being infatuated at the beginning of the song but by the end it inevitably falls deeper and finishes with soaring strings; the sound of falling in love to me. I wanted to release 'L.O.V.E.' first as I've been looking at love differently and how I define it since learning and doing work on codependency. Spelling out the word sounds so innocent, and it is. I'm just breaking it down to try and understand it. A musical reference was a compilation CD called Chilled Ibiza which me and my brother would listen to most summer holidays growing up."
