 The twelve track album which features guest appearances from Sister Nancy, Kranium, Sampa The Great and Gold Fang with JessB tapping into not only the intimate and personal essence of the physical definition of ‘home’, but also the mental and emotional embodiment of the refuge and sanctuary that is finding herself as a person.

As one of Aotearoa’s most influential artists, JessB has collaborated with the likes of Saweetie, DojaCat, G Flip and Baker Boy. Her imposing and stylistic form has accumulated over 20 million streams across her impressive catalogue and praise from music and culture tastemakers Afropunk, Acclaim, NME, Sniffers and VICE just to name a few. JessB has also delivered dynamic live shows at major festivals includingSXSW, The Great Escape, Listen Out, Laneway and has shared the stage with internationally renowned artists including Stormzy, Kehlani and Genesis Owusu.

Finding community wherever her journey takes her, JessB’s long-awaited debut album, FEELS LIKE HOME embodies the essence of home not being defined as a place, but instead, being where the heart is. Identifying as a cancer sign to her core, the Kenyan-New Zealand artist's heart has lied with her community since her breakout 2017 debut single ‘Soul Free’, followed by acclaimed projects Bloom, New Views, and 3 Nights in Amsterdam mixtape. The homebody of the zodiac, cancer signsare typically known to be sensitive, nurturing, and security-seeking souls—but with sharp claws thatreveal themselves in JessB’s snappy, quick-witted rhymes.

On her debut album, JessB explores the different pockets of her identity as a child of the diaspora. This is depicted over a journey of tracks created with a diverse palette of producers including New Zealand legend, Dera Meelan (Church & AP, Deadforest) in JessB’s hometown of Aotearoa, working with MOW Musicin the electronic capital of Amsterdam, to the Afrobeats and dancehall roots of her African heritage with One El Beatz, IAMMX0, Tuzi and Turkish D-cyphato the queer black nightlife soundscapes, Jess being the co-founder of Tamaki Makaurau QTPOC club night event FILTH.
