Jessica Wilde kicks of her 2024 by joining forces with the incredible Josh Barry for a soulful Valentine's Day release 'Love Like This', out 14th February.
Packed with soaring emotions and infused with smoky orchestral atmospheres, 'Love Like This' is a striking nu-soul gem which will be released on Wilde's forthcoming album and follows her recent singles 'Freak Out' and 'Feathers' ft. Zoe Kypri. The two 2023 singles saw her pick up many spins on BBC

Radio X, playlist support across the board from Spotify, Apple, Youtube and Tidal amongst other acclaim. Josh Barry has also been picking up serious heat, recently featuring with
Rudimental and Sigma, collaborating with Nile Rogers and opening for Rag 'N' Bone Man on tour. Josh Barry brings a dynamic force to the collab as he embodies the spirit of legendary icons like
James Brown and Jimi Hendrix.
On 'Love Like This', Wilde explains, "When we got in the studio, the song basically wrote itself, we wanted to capture that raw soulful essence in our husky tones, and a nostalgic feeling of those classic
Marvin Gaye love songs but with a 2024 flip."
As the dreamy, smooth track escalates, Wilde and Barry's yearning vocals entwine with epic effect as the pair find the 'Love Like This' that they have been searching and waiting for. The release comes with a Valentine's launch show at the iconic 'The Bedford' and a 6-part Instagram & TikTok reel series, released every other day from 16th February, which everyone should tune into to see Wilde and Barry explore the track's steamy and romantic themes in more depth through nostalgic aesthetics.

Radio 1 but also 6 Music, BBC
Radio London, KISS, editorial playlist support across DSPs, as well as features in CLASH, Complex, Wonderland, The Independent and many more.
