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.

Glossy and gritty. A Tarantino film in under five minutes.
