Jessica Winter – Wannabe

Today, alt-pop provocateur Jessica Winter shares “Wannabe”, the third single taken from her upcoming debut, My First Album, that releases on Friday 11th July.

On “Wannabe”, Jessica creates a stripped-back, raw, and emotive pop anthem. Taking inspiration from ’90s grunge, the track has an earworm chorus and lyrics that will be on a loop in your head for days. “Wannabe” is an endlessly relatable track and demonstrates why Jessica is one of the most authentic and innovative alt-pop artists on the scene today.

In the accompanying video, directed by Roger Spy, we see Jessica depicted as Edward Scissorhands, recreating the iconic hair-cutting scene from the classic ’90s film but with a surprising end twist to reflect the message of the song.

Speaking about “Wannabe”, Jessica said:

I wrote this song after a lengthy doom scroll. Got bored of feeling less than and the daily comparison. This song is a friendly reminder to stay in your own lane and to remember you are just as alien as everybody else.
