Jessica Wilde drops soulful new track ‘FADE’

Published

on

Highly acclaimed South London artist Jessica Wilde is back with an outstanding soulful and thought-provoking new single ‘FADE’, as she turns up the heat for her highly anticipated new album project dropping this summer.

‘FADE’ is about the ‘Art of letting go’ and is the latest chapter in Wilde’s healing and inner work, which saw her 2022 debut album chart her journey from mad parties, escapism, addiction and toxic relationships to self- healing, empowerment, self-love and living sober. The album gained acclaim from the likes of Clash, Complex, Wonderland, The Independent, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio London and more and has paved the way for perhaps her best work yet, as she returns with the smooth yet soaring, finely produced, ‘FADE’.

Through Wilde’s healing journey she has accepted that everything is constantly changing and the more we cling to people who are no longer good for us, the more we hurt ourselves. “When we truly let go, life opens doors for new people and possibilities to come in exceeding our expectations. It hurts, but letting go is an act of self-love and value”, she explains.

Wildeco-wrote ‘FADE’ with multi-platinum selling writer James Newman, who wrote Rudimental’s Brit award winning song ‘Waiting All Night’ with Ella Eyre, as well as ‘Lay Me Down’ with Ed Sheeran. The track follows her recent singles ‘Freak Out’, ‘Feathers’ with Zoe Kypri and ‘Love Like This’ with Josh Barry, also from the forthcoming new album. The previous singles stirred up some serious heat, with multiple spins on BBC Radio 1’s ‘Future Artists’ with Jack Saunders and from Jess Iszatt, who has supported on both Radio 1 and BBC Introducing, plus airplay from John Kennedy at Radio X and editorial playlist support across the board on Spotify, Apple, TIDAL, Youtube Music and Pandora.

Not only will Wilde’s artistry across the smoky ‘FADE’ continue to impress music lovers and tastemakers alike, but so will her ‘PxSSY PWR’ platform which she created as a response to the disparity between support for male artists compared to the lack of support for female. The residency at Hootanany Brixton has become a hub and major platform for some of the most exciting underground female, non-binary and queer artists, including sold out shows with the likes of Etta Bond, IYAMAH, Zoe Kypri and Tamaraebi to name a few.

‘PxSSY PWR’, which is fronted by Wilde’s fierce, unapologetic, comedic, pink wigged and biro smoking alter ego, ‘ya gurl Charlene’, also has its own Radio show, clothing line in collaboration with FAME Magazine and this summer ‘PxSSY PWR’ returns to Secret Garden Party Festival to take-over the Noirorganics stage.

Now with ‘FADE’ proving that Wilde can once again continue to deliver high quality socially relevant tracks, it is a very exciting time to join Wilde as she brings her life and music industry achievements to date together and moves into a brilliant and tantalizing new era of her career.

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND WITH DANIEL LECKERMAN’S “KARMA”

Published

on

Clear your head, turn the lights down low, and let the nostalgia take over — because Scottish singer-songwriter Daniel Leckerman just dropped “Karma”, and this hypnotic electro-pop gem knows exactly how to make the past feel close again.

Shimmering synths, driving bass, atmospheric production, and deeply personal lyrics come together for a track that lives somewhere between a late-night dancefloor and that quiet moment when you find yourself thinking about someone — or somewhere — you thought you’d left behind.

Because sometimes, you don’t really leave the past behind.

Sometimes, it finds its way back to you.

“Karma” explores nostalgia, comfort, growth, and those strange connections that continue to shape us long after we think we’ve moved on. Maybe “you” is a person. Maybe it’s a place. Maybe it’s an old version of yourself.

Whatever it is, Daniel asks the question:

What if some things are meant to come back when the time is right?

Daniel says it best:

“This song is about nostalgia, comfort, and letting go of the past.”

And there’s so much more to this artist than the music.

As a queer and disabled artist and passionate disability advocate, Daniel is also the founder of The Harmony Dialogue, a platform working to make the music industry more accessible and representative.

From supporting emerging artists in Glasgow’s grassroots scene to producing intimate live events and championing disabled voices, Daniel is building a career rooted in connection; both onstage and off.

With previous support from BBC Introducing, “Karma” feels like the perfect next chapter: emotional, uplifting, nostalgic, and just mysterious enough to keep you pressing replay.

So turn it up.

Think about the people, places, and memories that shaped you.

And remember:

If it’s meant to find you again, maybe it will. ✨🪩
