Award-nominated ‘folk-grunge’ singer-songwriter Jessie Dipper has self-released her new single ‘Where Do I Go’, taken from her forthcoming new album Sticky Floors.
Currently based in Cardiff, Jessie has successfully self-released five singles, two EPs and an album over the last five years, continuously honing her brand of folk-
grunge – a fusion that pulls from the 23 year-old’s love of Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, Mary Mary and Jimi Hendrix alongside Ed Sheeran, Mumford and Sons, Passenger and
Lily Allen.
Written on the back of an envelope given to her by her Dad whilst sitting with “one
leg down” due to being on crutches after rupturing her ankle ligaments, ‘Where Do I
Go’ didn’t start out as an obvious choice for a single. Jessie said, “In all honesty [at first], I hated this song!”
Listen to ‘Where Do I Go’ by Jessie Dipper on the Shoot Music New Releases Playlist on Spotify.
“I didn’t think it would go anywhere, but it was just one of those songs that I needed to get out to ease my frustration of not being able to do anything I wanted or needed to do. It suddenly dawned on me that this was something that could voice not just my frustration, but that of so many of my generation.”
The single’s accompanying video features a frustrated dinosaur who struggles to understand the restrictions of everyday life, such as ordering coffee or getting out of the bath.
“The dinosaur concept felt like a great way to communicate a harsh and real topic in a memorable and comedic fashion, whilst perfectly summing up the irritation I was experiencing,” says Jessie. “And it’s safe to say I now like this song!”
In addition to the release of her forthcoming single and new album, Jessie will end
the year as main support for Scouting For Girls at dates in Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff and Bristol.
