Having lived in the U.S., Iceland, China, and currently the U.K., Jessica Faroe and her music are shaped by a kaleidoscopic, globe-trotting existence.
 
Case in point: her music career began in 2017 with the metal-indebted Awaken EP before discovering a love of synthesizers and exploring the world of synth pop. Still, with COVID-19 putting a hold on travel for the foreseeable future, Faroe credits the lockdown for giving her time to refocus and home-record some of her most reflective music to date, starting with “Beautiful” – out tomorrow!
 
We are thrilled to premiere the new track today, with the fantastic video featuring friends answering the question “What does beautiful mean to you?” There is no better time for such an uplifting track and video, and we couldn’t be happier to share this with you today. Enjoy!
 


In her own words:

“I wrote this song about my battle with internalized sexism and racism. I have been fighting against sexism and racism all my life, but only recently did I realize that I had internalized the very beliefs that I hated. I managed to uncover negative self-talk like ‘I don’t like my eyes,’ ‘I’m not pretty enough compared to other girls,’ ‘I’m not attractive enough,’ ‘I’m not good enough’ among other thoughts and now I’m on a healing journey. I decided to write a song not just for myself, but for all who are suffering out there silently.”
