Jess Young - Irish Artist of the Week 7:25

7 hours ago7:25

7:25

Jess Young, an Irish artist based in London making waves in the pop scene. Mentored by music legends Tom Allom (Black Sabbath) and Nigel Heath (Downton Abbey), her unreleased single "Wasted" was featured on major shows like Cold Feet, Marriage, and a hit US Netflix drama. Her debut solo single “Wilderness” (produced by Jungleboi) earned airplay and praise like “That’s got Bond theme written all over it.”. She’s also been spotlighted by Hot Press as ‘one to watch.’ Vocally, she draws comparisons to Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, and Stevie Nicks. Her track Heartbreak Vacation is an upbeat pop tune laced with a bass line and shimmering synths, and tells the true story of an artist's desperate attempt to remove herself from a toxic situation. It's a tale as old as time: Girl meets Boy, Girl recognizes Boy is a player, but it's too late and she's fallen for him and she can't get herself unstuck from him. Not until - she gets a ticket to an island far away to literally remove herself from the situation. Written with producer/ writer Mezz (James Blunt, Two Another) and up-and-coming pop star/ songwriter Michaela, Heartbreak Vacation is the first of a run of singles that Jess Young will be releasing in 2025 and 2026.…

I 1975 bhí an rialtas cúisithe an oíche roimhe go raibh siad ag tabhairt neamhaird ar 52 míle daltaí a bhí chun an scoil a chríochnú. I 1964 d'oscail an tAire Oideachas Páirc Charbhán Ryan's I gCill Chaoi an tseachtain sin. I 1975 bhí an lán ceoltóirí in Inis an tseachtain sin ó gach áit in Éirinn agus daoine a raibh grá acu do cheol Éireannach. Sin B*Witched le C'Est La Vie – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1998 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1964 chuaigh The Beatles chuig uimhir a haon sna cairteacha I Meiriceá lena amhrán Love Me Do. Bhí sé a cheathrú uimhir a haon I cúig mhí. An leagan a tháinig amach I Meiriceá bhí Andy White ag seinm na druma agus bhí Ringo ar an tambóirín agus an leagan a tháinig amach sa Bhreatain bhí Ringo Starr ag seinm na druma. I 1996 chuaigh Alan Whitaker ó Penzance ar Mastermind agus bhí a ábhar speisialta The Sex Pistols. Chuaigh sé chuig an bhabhta leathcheannais de bharr gur d'fhreagair sé 18 gceist cheart. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Tom Morello I Meiriceá I 1964 agus rugadh amhránaí agus aisteoir Idina Menzel I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1971 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

The version released in America had Andy White playing drums while Ringo played the tambourine. The British single was a take on which Ringo Starr played the drums. 1996 Alan Whitaker from Penzance appeared on the UK TV quiz show Mastermind, his specialist subject being the Sex Pistols. He won a place in the semi-final of the show answering all but one of the 18 questions correctly And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Tom Morello was born in America in 1964 and singer Idina Menzel was born in America on this day in 1971 and this is one of her songs.
