This singer-songwriter from Sydney, Australia may only be twenty but seeing how Jessica Jade has already captivated the hearts of so many across the world with her deep, mesmerizing and emphatically mature vocals, it may be safe to assume that she is wise beyond her years.

With her new single ‘One Time’ Jade offers yet another piece of herself to her listeners, demonstrating how she is not afraid to experiment with modern electro-pop sounds while at the same time prioritizing her extensive vocal range throughout the entire song. Produced by DJ Sefru, this track relies on a mid-tempo base, a steady infectious set of beats that ground the emotions and allow the words to simmer in slowly through Jade’s powerful vocals. 

Speaking on her career, Jade has stated, “There is no reason why I shouldn’t give myself the chance to succeed”. And that is exactly the kind of vision that is communicated through this incredibly personal melody. I know what I’m worth---she sings, exuding with confidence. Describing a relationship that has taught her more than she had expected, she muses about the “one time” she got it all together. 

She refers to the struggles of this past relationship and how she has grown as a result, a deeply private topic that can somehow be applied for all her listeners. And that is a hallmark of the best sort of songwriting, where the tones and the words might originate from personal feelings but somehow reel in every individual into the horizon, where each word and each beat becomes instantly relatable. 

Jade started out in the industry by posting covers on social media, the likes of which has led to a following of over 8 million users. But original, versatile tracks like ‘One Time’ proves why she is ready to forge her own path as a singer and performer. Her accompany music video for the song also showcases a bonafide personality that is well aware of how to visually convey the emotions running through her song. At the same time, it is worth noting how she has incorporated in her discography a variety of producers from the local Australian music scene---her progress as a singer is not just promising for the entire music industry; it could be instrumental in shining a light on the truly intriguing Australian music culture.
