Jessica Winter has shared new single ‘Aftersun’, taken from her forthcoming debut album ‘My First Album’, set for release on 11th July via Lucky Number.
The track arrives alongside a music video directed by Roger Spy, which continues the narrative from previous single ‘Wannabe’.
“You’ve had a long day at work, and you want to let loose. You head to the club and lock eyes with someone, they pull you onto the dance floor and for a minute you lose yourself and everything around you melts away. Waking up the next afternoon having lost your memory, your things, and your dignity, you don’t mind because that feeling was worth it,” Winter explains of the new single.
Speaking about the album, she adds: “‘My First Album’ is conceptually about ‘somebody’ aspiring to be a star and wanting to fill the void deep inside herself. Along the way there are various diversions and adventures, involving people, places, and things. Ultimately, however, she is on a journey of self-discovery and realisation, and that all she really needs is to love herself.”
