Singer/songwriter Jess Mills has attracted quite a bit of attention in the press recently. After being featured in i-D magazine, this seems like it may only be the beginning for the young star. The North Londoner incorporates a mixture of classic song-writing with a mix of dance-filled beats and is said to be influenced by bands such as Portishead and Massive Attack, and after listening to her you can really here this coming through.
'Live for What I'd Die for' is an excellent blend of electronic dance beats with haunting yet soft vocals from the singer. The song is something you could definitely imagine yourself dancing to while out in a club, yet it maintains that chill out atmosphere that you get from the likes of her influences. To top it off, the single also has a cover of the Chase and Status song 'End Credits' and I must say, I preferred her version to the original, her voice just seems to work so much better on it, and it's not often that I say I prefer a cover to the original.
I can definitely tell why there is interest being shown around Jess Mills at the moment and she is definitely worth the talk and a listen.
