The keen reader might remember reading about Jess Stewart in our publication; the British songstress has, in fact, been quite active in the past year, focusing on fierce and empowering pop nuggets, often drenched in love-themed storytelling from the perspective of a young woman. Writing about the project’s previous single ‘Prince Charming’, we proudly declared it “a slice of relatability and self-resilience, all drenched in luscious and eclectic R&B stylings”.
We stand by our words: Stewart seems to have found a working formula, now reiterated by her latest effort, ‘Crush’. A short yet intense and nuanced bubble of commercial eclecticism, the record embarks on a bouncy and fast-paced hip-hop-flavoured groove, blending EDM textures and pop lyricism with easiness and charisma. The result is a catchy and electrifying anthem, crowned by Stewart’s evocative and dynamic vocals.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the single, she explains: “‘Crush’ expresses the desire to remain in that exciting early stage of a relationship with the feelings of butterflies and anticipation, highlighting the emotional rollercoaster between being wanted and taken for granted”.
