JMSN – PRISCILLA

“Armed with a dynamic full-length debut, +Priscilla+, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter JMSN is primed to ride the creative new wave that has washed across R&B music over the past year or so. The alternative R&B/pop-soul artist has already garnered early comparisons to The Weeknd based off his first single, “Alone”, a drugged-out tune full of eerie drums and foggy atmospherics. But over the course of +Priscilla+, JMSN (pronounced Jameson) proves that comparison to be a bit reductionist. In some ways, +Priscilla+ – a full-length rumination on lost love – feels very much like a complementary piece to 808s & Heartbreak. What makes +Priscilla+ all the more impressive is that it’s also entirely self-produced. And far from being just a novelty, the production is one of the highlights of the LP.. +Priscilla+ is by no means perfect, but it’s a damn fine first project from an artist who seems to have finally found his niche after years of trying to break into the industry. Alternative R&B. Indie R&B. Call it what you want – the music speaks for itself.”
