New York, NY — Pop-rock singer-songwriter Jess Yaffa is giving listeners a front-row seat to her creative world with the launch a double single featuring live performance videos and songs. The 23-year-old New York City native, whose debut album Thoughts That Keep Me Up at Night has drawn widespread acclaim, is capturing the energy, vulnerability, and raw emotion of her live set with a series of videos that highlight her deeply personal and powerful music. See the live video for “Just For One Night” HERE.
Jess shares, “I wrote ‘Just For One Night’ as a way to capture that feeling of freedom when you’re out with your friends, living in the moment. It’s about letting go, having fun, and celebrating yourself. Whenever I play it live, the energy is incredible—it really brings everyone together.”
Released on April 4, 2025, Thoughts That Keep Me Up at Night was created in collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Scott Jacoby (Coldplay, John Legend, Vampire Weekend). The album establishes Yaffa as a rising voice in the pop-rock landscape, praised for its authenticity, anthemic hooks, and bold emotional honesty.
These new live videos display Yaffa’s fiery stage presence and ability to connect with audiences through both sound and storytelling. Her performances underscore what New Noise described as music that “bleeds emotional, heartfelt lyrics.” At the same time, Earmilk noted her “high-energy pop/rock embodies the rush of embracing spontaneity, leaning into bravado, and relishing in the electrical charge of the moment.”
Yaffa’s debut has been hailed as “a delightful, guitar-forward pop-rock nugget” by Uproxx, and The Big Takeover praised the album as “the sound of an artist wise, sonically, artistically, and creatively, beyond her years… a near-perfect debut that blends infectious pop hooks with astute, singer-songwriter vibes and indie authenticity.” That spirit is fully captured in her live video series, where Yaffa’s unfiltered voice, energy, and vision take center stage.
With her DIY approach, writing her music, directing her videos, and shaping her creative direction, Jess Yaffa is more than a performer. She’s a force to be reckoned with. As I’m Music Magazine put it, Thoughts That Keep Me Up at Night “is not just an album, but a declaration of artistic independence.”
