Hot on the heels of Jesse Jo Stark Releases Now Her Music Video For Latest Hit “Tangerine“
“Tangerine” a California dipped track for a nation dreaming of summer, Jesse Jo transports listeners away with her sultry tenor and poetic visions. “tangerine is about the rawness and realness of a person,” says Jesse Jo. “the different layers and moods we all experience. the sweet parts. and the not-so-sweet parts.
it’s a trip to decide how to visually represent something that feels so visceral and personal to me, but that’s why I wanted to bring it back home. I wanted the video to take place where I grew up. I wanted to drive past the places that shaped me and scarred me and made me into the woman that I am. I think story-telling, whether it’s a song or a video or a painting or a photo, should hurt a little bit when it’s becoming real. and that’s what tangerine is to me. it’s just me my el camino n the beach.”
Jesse Jo Stark’s story seeps through her music—a heady, stylized mix of earthy Americana and Hollywood allure. The music is timeless with unmissable nods to 70s rock, classic country, and ethereal pop, while heavy strokes of sex and kitsch add a playfulness to the workmanship of her songwriting. Sitting at a mesmerizing cross-section of Mazzy Star, Fleetwood Mac, and Lee Hazlewood, to listen to Jesse Jo Stark is to step into an artfully crafted other world—cinematic and consuming. Glossy and gritty. A Tarantino film in under five minutes.
