"Denton, Texas has a thriving music scene, but there’s nothing else there that sounds quite like Jessie Frye. The singer, songwriter and pianist has a robust, versatile voice that she showcases with a wide-ranging pop sensibility on her upcoming full-length debut, Obsidian." -The Wall Street Journal "Ms. Frye confidently holds her own against distorted guitars and a thunderous beat"- The New York Times "The way in which the music effortlessly interweaves with her voice without overpowering or drowning out her intimate vocal complexities is a testament to the intuitive interplay between all members of the band. A compelling example of how synth-pop can expand and develop past its bloated mainstream inclinations, “White Heat” is equal parts inclusive campfire storytelling and rafter-reaching pomp. Expect to hear more from Jessie Frye very soon." -Beats Per Minute Obsidian opens with the ominous thud of tribal-pounding drums―a sonic contribution offered by the album’s mixer, Matt Asianian. The track “Never Been to Paris” sheds light on Frye’s blossoming songwriting parameters musically. Concurrently, and strikingly at times, it also exposes the breadth of her lyrical experimentation. Jessie and her band have shared the stage with artists such as Pat Benatar, Dana Falconberry, Tracy Bonham, Katie Herzig, Julianna Barwick, Joan As Police Woman, Eric Hutchinson and Anais Mitchell. -Nominated Best Female Vocalist in the Ft.
