In 2015, Jess Glynne’s debut album ‘I Cry When I Laugh’ became the biggest selling debut of the year. Going platinum in the UK in only 10 weeks, being one of only two British female solo artists to have five consecutive UK number one singles.
Jess describes the day that she signed her record contract as ‘the happiest and saddest day of my life.’ Professionally, she had come of age, earning the respect of an industry she’d fought long and hard to win a place in. Here was the proof that her talent for singing, song-writing and performance were ready for their close-up. Personally, she was in pieces, broken-hearted from a two-year relationship that made her question everyone and everything.
However, there is more than one musical way to skin the heartbreak cat and with her debut album Jess Glynne is exploring the options. In the decade passed since Back to Black, the British pop narrative music has cultivated a side-line specialty in albums documenting the wrench of broken love. The break-up album is now its defining motif. When she began documenting her exact feelings in song for ‘I Cry When I Laugh’ – a deliberate duality that speaks directly to her demeanor in person as in song – Jess Glynne decided to take an alternative, circuitous route to the searing piano ballads that are now our national pop default position. ‘I wanted this record to be about hope,’ she says.
