Your way to make this Wednesday smooth is here.
The Rotterdam-based singer with Venezuelan, Surinamese, Chinese and Dutch roots Jessy Yasmeen (whose "Wash Away" we featured in June) is back with her full Leap of Faith EP, out via our friends Vokall Records.
Taking inspiration from her rich heritage, Jessy blends various influences in her music - from the likes of Erykah Badu, Greentea Peng & Cleo Sol. The focus track "Back to the Middle" carries bossa-nova rhythms, Latin guitars, smooth horns, cinematic strings, and neo-soul vocals - a next-level take on r&b. The song tells the story of Jessy's journey into adulthood from 18 to 30, "in search of identity and self-confidence."
P.S. if you like this sound, you can check our new bossa nova r&b playlist.
