Canadian pop singer and songwriter JESSIA announces her new EP, ‘Okay With Every Part,’ out July 19th, and releases her new single, “Different People.”
It’s been a milestone year for JESSIA who bravely transitioned to releasing music independently after parting ways with her label. Taking her future into her own hands, she presents her first independent project, ‘Okay With Every Part’. The 6-track EP includes hit songs like “The Woman You Are,” “Care About Me,” and “He’s a 10,” as well as three brand new tracks.
JESSIA opens up about her first independent project: “Losing a label and a relationship within the span of 3 months shook me. I felt shame, rejection, anger, frustration, but also freedom, adventure, passion, and resilience. As much as I didn’t want to, I had to learn to accept and move through these new obstacles. Each song on this project represents a pivotal moment in my journey to finding peace and confidence again. This EP represents me accepting the good and bad parts of life so that I can look back and say, I’m okay with every part.”
Out today, “Different People,” one of the new tracks from the EP, is an emotionally resonant breakup anthem. “It’s about the no-contact stage of a breakup and all the intrusive thoughts that go along with it,” JESSIA explains of the relatable concept behind the song. “This song is for everyone resisting the urge to pick up the phone and text their ex. Instead of calling him, put this song on at full volume and go for a midnight drive.”
