July 12th, 2024 – Canadian pop singer and songwriter JESSIA announces her new EP, ‘Okay With Every Part,’ out July 19th, and releases her new single, “Different People.”
It’s been a milestone year for JESSIA who bravely transitioned to releasing music
independently after parting ways with her label. Taking her future into her own hands, she
presents her first independent project, ‘Okay With Every Part’. The 6-track EP includes hit
songs like “The Woman You Are”, “Care About Me”, and “He’s a 10”, as well as three brand new
tracks.
JESSIA opens up about her first independent project: “Losing a label and a relationship within
the span of 3 months shook me. I felt shame, rejection, anger, frustration, but also freedom,
adventure, passion, and resilience. As much as I didn’t want to, I had to learn to accept and
move through these new obstacles. Each song on this project represents a pivotal moment in
my journey to finding peace and confidence again. This EP represents me accepting the good
and bad parts of life so that I can look back and say, I’m okay with every part.”
Out today, “Different People”, one of the new tracks from the EP, is an emotionally resonant
breakup anthem. “It’s about the no-contact stage of a breakup and all the intrusive thoughts
that go along with it,” JESSIA explains of the relatable concept behind the song. “This song is
for everyone resisting the urge to pick up the phone and text their ex. Instead of calling him, put
this song on at full volume and go for a midnight drive.”
