I'm rly digging this new cover by Tessa Rose Jackson!

Tessa is an artist I first heard about through a music agency I work with. They raved about her from the get-go and admittedly, as an American music supervisor swamped with singer/songwriter submissions, I wasn't necessarily rushing to hear another. This cover and the video she made got my attention.

I dug into her previous work and am impressed by how much skill she has in songwriting. Since first hearing her, I've discovered she's a songwriting machine. Jamming out new songs constantly - and all quality songs, by the way. Holland doesn't have a big singer/songwriter presence since they kill it with EDM, but Tessa stands out even in the small pool here.

Have a listen to her cover of Foo Fighters "The Pretender" and let me know if you're digging this, too.
