A single inspired by future bass and hyperpop, “BLONDE” is a track released today from Jess Jessica, a DJ and producer based in Fort Collins, CO. She has impressed previously with the tracks “Coming Up” and “JUST.””BLONDE” succeeds with its excitable structural development and effervescent rise.
A creaky, somewhat ominous swarming traverses into a snappy, industrial series of textures with a swelling vocal element. This particular vocal sample is masterfully manipulated throughout — “stretched, pitched, chopped,” — and compels in its construction of the track’s melodic direction. Further, an infectious burst of synth-driven melody and vocal expression culminates shortly past the one-minute mark. The pulsing 4/4 feel and syncopated textures converge for another invigorating electronic success from Jess Jessica.
