Jess Stone debuts with the ultimate YA single, โSaviourโs Lullaby,โ getting real and deep about self-discovery and growth through societal pressure and self-doubt. Hailing from South Lincolnshire and now based in Brighton, Jess Stone delivers a raw and heartfelt performance that relates hard to all of us.
Inspired by Sabrina Sterlingโs โ17 Pushing 24,โ โSaviourโs Lullabyโ explores self-doubt, low self-esteem, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. The song opens with gentle guitar riffs that build steadily, creating a sense of anticipation. Jess Stoneโs soft and delicate vocals come in singing, โI am drowning โcause I canโt find my way to the surface.โ
Throughout the song, Jess Stone lays bare her innermost thoughts and emotions, expressing the struggles of trying too hard and feeling overwhelmed by self-imposed expectations. Her lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with hopelessness and exhaustion yet still striving for self-improvement and holding onto hope.
The simplicity of the instrumentals allows Jess Stoneโs vocals and lyrics to take center stage, allowing her vulnerability and nuances to shine through. Each word feels like a diary entry, delivered with honesty and authenticity. Her soft and delicate delivery shows how tired and defeated she is. The subtle frustration in her voice shows she is suppressing all these feelings to seem put-together.
Fans of Taylor Swift, Sabrina Sterling and Olivia Rodrigo will find their semblance in Jess Stoneโs music. The rising star has finally stepped out and we eagerly anticipate what the future holds for this promising artist.
