JESSIA Drops New Music Video for “I'm not Pretty”
Back in January, Canadian singer-songwriter JESSIA released her latest song “I'm not Pretty”. Her fifteenth single went viral on TikTok.
The track was written by JESSIA and elijah woods, who also produced it. The song interpolates T-Pain the 2017 song “Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')”.
JESSIA said, “I didn't think the song was going to go anywhere. I wrote the song on January 1 and posted it on January 1. It was just the hook and when it started blowing up I was like, 'Oh my goodness no. It's not finished stop stop stop'. And then Elijah Woods jumped on and started producing it and now like the pressure is on.”
On March 23rd, she dropped a new music video for the song, directed by Benjamin Lussier.
“Filming the music video was such a surreal experience,” she said in a press release. “I kept looking around set asking myself, 'are all of these people here for me and my song? What? Am I really here right now? What a time. It was such a party on set! SUCH A BLAST!”- Currently, she worked on new music with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder. “The first meeting I was like, I'm meeting with Ryan Tedder, and I tried to play it cool,” she said. “I was like, Oh hey Ryan, you know 'Apologize' am I right? and then I got off the Zoom. It was me Ryan and Elijah Woods and immediately called Elijah and was like: Were you there for that? Ryan was just reciting my lyrics to me. Ryan Tedder. And he was like, 'Yup, I was there for that, Jess.'”
