About Me |
|
| In a haze of hedonistic glamour, Balearic sunsets and favela chic, Helena Jessie takes you on a delirious journey you’ll want to revisit again and again...With a statuesque presence reminiscent of Jessica Rabbit and a velvet voice purring echoes of Eartha Kitt, it's no wonder Miss Jessie has charmed the likes of showbiz legend Michael Parkinson. Her stint on London’s jazz scene has already seen her grace the capitals top venues, including Ronnie Scott’s, The Pigalle Club and Pizza on the Park. And having scooped the ‘Best Jazz Singer’ gong at the 2007 Irish World Awards, 2008 now heralds an exciting new direction in the sultry Dubliner’s burgeoning career.Helena’s debut solo album, which sees her teaming up with top music producer Rob Granville, looks set to be a scorcher when it’s released later this year. The songstress has effortlessly merged her penchant for the great divas of yesteryear, from Ella Fitzgerald to Kirsty MacColl, with her love of contemporary artists like Groove Armada and The Gotan Project. The result? An infectious mix of steamy Latin, 50s lounge and slick 70s grooves, overlaid by Helena's commanding voice and smooth, sensual style."Jessie's voice, pure, soft and lively as a pashmina with personality, smooches a song into submission..."
Nina Caplan, Metro"...a sexy voice..."
Michael Parkinson, BBC Radio 2 Show"...a performer who owns the stage and transports you to an era when glamour was a way of life...remember the name..."
