With My Mind, Sydney-based singer-songwriter Jessa Verone ushered listeners into a lush kaleidoscopic of colour, where dream pop, R&B, synth-pop, and classic pop converge in elegant harmony. Her ethereal vocals, delicately laced with emotive power, serve as a luminous guide through the lush arrangement.
Collaborating with Sydney producer OkayOnly, Verone’s artistry shines as she scribes with a sonic signature far from any other pop artist’s turf. The fleeting familiarity within the track’s layers quickly dissipates as you are drawn deeper into the multi-faceted production.
My Mind toys with its listeners, unravelling themes of love and affection while encouraging a sense of grace and empowerment. Unlike typical lovelorn ballads, Verone’s approach is exploratory and transformative, inspiring listeners to embrace their own coquette aesthetic and let it seep into their worldview. The introspective depth of the lyrics finds perfect synergy with the textured instrumentation, making My Mind an experience of self-discovery as much as it is an indulgence in seraphic sonics.
As a follow-up to her debut single, Blue Moon, the sophomore release proves Verone’s trajectory is only going to pick up more momentum. Her ability to offer such an intimate glimpse into her world through a baroque yet accessible lens sets her apart in the contemporary pop landscape, marking My Mind as a moment of innovation rather than replication.
My Mind will be available to stream on all major platforms, including SoundCloud, on December 6th.
