Brixton-based artist Jessica Wilde set to release a new single from her upcoming album

Brixton-based artist Jessica Wilde is set to release a new single from her upcoming album.

Heads in The Roses, out on February 25, is a dark and meaningful song about the escapism of drug mis-use represented in a bass-loaded, soulful production.

This song is about burying your head in the roses and not facing up to the reality of addiction, framed in catchy nu-soul pop chic.

Ms Wilde said:  “I found love in this escapism.

“I was fully caught up in the fantasy and wanted that captured in the video which re-enacts a true romance story between me and another girl.”

The single is from her debut album Sober,Wasted,Wasted,Sober which is out on March 11.

The album charts Ms Wilde’s journey from addiction and toxic relationships to self-empowerment and living sober.

Ms Wilde’s style ranges from chilled and thoughtful spoken word gems to bouncy in-your-face bangers that are woven with her gritty real-life experiences and poetic observations.

The combination of her candid hazy diary entry interludes and huge soaring pop-soul choruses packs a real and lasting musical punch.
