According to his Spotify bio, JESSE! makes “songs about Jesus and a wife I don’t have.” That’s a telling line. The genre-blending artist cares deeply about his faith, clearly. That’s apparent in the crunchy “Please Come Down,” and “My Heaven.” But the fact that he’s looking for love, and is willing to make himself vulnerable—that makes for fascinating lyrical content. “I Are” is perhaps his most interesting tune, but it also highlights the fact that his sound is a little all over the place. No matter, his talent is obvious, and he’s got time to iron out the creases.
