Jess Glynne Announces Third Album 'Jess' With New Single Enough

Jess Glynne has shared details of her long-awaited third studio album.
The Grammy Award-winning singer will release 'Jess' through EMI Records on April 26, following up 2018's 'Always In Between'.
Alongside the news, she's shared the intimate and uplifting soul-pop single Enough, which was written in Los Angeles and produced by Greg Kurstin. It arrives with a powerful Olivia Rose-directed video. Glynne commented:
"Enough is the first song that I knew was 100% going on the album. I wrote it in 2020 when I was going through a lot in my life. Everyone had been through it that year, and I was heavily hit by a feeling of insecurity and lack of self-worth. I was going through a lot of changes personally and professionally and my confidence had been really set back.
"As soon as we started writing, I was reminded in that moment, by the people in the room, that I am good enough and I am so proud of how far I have come. I’ve paid my dues, I’ve grafted and I’m not going back to ever letting anyone make me feel like I’m not good enough ever again. I hope others manage to feel hope and gain the same strength from it that I do – we are all Enough and there’s no going back to feeling otherwise. It was then that I knew in my gut by the way this song made me feel, this had to be the first single from my new album."
The new song follows her three 2023 tracks; Silly Me, What Do You Do? and Friend Of Mine, all of which feature on the record, which she describes as her most personal work to date:
"If I was to summarise this album, firstly I would say that this album is unapologetically me, which is why I had to call it Jess. It’s about moving on and allowing myself to be secure, empowered, sexy, vulnerable and strong. I’ve allowed myself to be raw and honest with my lyrics.
"It’s realising why I love and got into music. Listening to artists like Amy Winehouse, Joni Mitchell, Lauryn Hill, and Prince have inspired me to be the truest version of myself, and reminded me why I was inspired to write, to sing, to feel.
"I've been given so much freedom musically, artistically and creatively. No one has set any boundaries on me and it’s allowed me to be free and make Jess be the album I truly want it to be."
Glynne has outdoor shows in the diary for the summer, including an appearance at Ashton Gate Presents BS3, London's South Facing Festival, shows in Scarborough, Halifax, Lincoln, Bedford, Stoke, and a headline slot at Penn Fest in Buckinghamshire.
