Channel description

Jess Glynne made history by becoming the first British female solo artist to score 7 number ones on the UK Singles Chart – among them 'I'll Be There’, 'Hold My Hand' and 'Don't Be So Hard on Yourself'. Her two previous Platinum selling albums have both become Number 1 records & she collected three Ivor Novello nominations, won a Grammy & racked up nine Brit Award nominations & 1.2 billion streams.

But when Glynne says "everything has changed", she isn't exaggerating. The singer-songwriter brought in fresh management & switched record label to EMI, relocating to Los Angeles for much of 2022 & honing a new, more vulnerable songwriting style with producers including Greg Kurstin, Emile Haynie, Malay, and BOOTS.

They added to a tight, five-member writing team: herself, longtime collaborators Knox Brown & Jin Jin, plus grime musician Wretch-32 & Grammy-nominated producer P2J and she took songwriting inspiration from the likes of Joni Mitchell, Amy Winehouse, Prince & more.
