BREAKING
MUSIC NEWS: Jes Justice’s new single is now available.
“Judgement
Day” is a song about Jes’ struggles with alcohol. “Judgment
Day” will be on the EP The Realest which is scheduled to be
released in August. The single Judgement Day is available wherever
you download or stream music. Below are a few of the sites.
Jes Justice was
born in Hollywood, Florida and raised in Western New York. She began
writing music at the age of 14, citing the Temptations and Janis
Joplin as childhood muses. At 18 Jes moved to New York City and began
to perform in the bar and club scene at such historical venues as the
Bitter End and Rockwood Music Hall. In 2009 Jess released her first
album, Mirrors
and has since been a featured and background vocalist touring with
the Zak Smith Band while steadily playing as a solo act on the east
coast. Below is what Jess has to say about herself.
“Jewel was the
reason I started playing guitar and also learned to yodel,” Ani
DiFranco inspired a lot of my early songwriting days. I also love
Patty Griffin, Lori McKenna and Miranda Lambert and the Dixie Chicks
for their down-to-earth writing style. I’m inspired by Eminem and
Kanye West for their sometimes offensive, honest and funny lyrics…
The older I got my music got a little more edgy and jaded. I also
started writing funny songs and swearing a bit more. My vocal style
matured from experience as well as singing in other styles with other
bands.” [Source: JesJustice

After 9 years on
the New York circuit, the lifestyle began to take its toll. The
songstress took a break from the nightlife to regain her sense of
self and made the move to Boston. Following stints in New England, LA
and Nashville, Jes returned to New York in 2015. Motivated to evolve,
she began writing her new album The
Realest.
On The Realest,
the transition she had been yearning for, the sense of “It’s Time
To,” ever searching for a sense of newness comes across. The power
and dynamic of the new songs, with their straightforward lyrics and
explosive melodies, inspire the listener to raise up with Jes and
make moves. Jes Justice is ready to take on the world.

Jes reads and studies all she can about Astrology as she finds the
subject fascinating. She also follows what is happening in the
political arena and on occasions writes about it, in her own witty
way, in a blog. Jes also blogs about various subjects including her
own life and the struggles she faced.
[Writers Note:
Jes Justice is a very intriguing singer/song writer with a story
filled with turmoil, heartache, addiction, and revelation. As a
writer I have learned what to leave out of an article, as the written
words of the individual you are writing about is packed with so much
emotion and truth that I can’t capture the feeling behind the
words, as I haven’t been there. Jess has a blog on her website that
covers what she has been through from what happened two days before
her first albums Mirrors
arrived
at her house
through why she changed her name and why she
choose the one she did. To get an insight into this talented
singer/song writer check out her blog.]
