Acclaimed South London artist Jessica Wilde is calling on women everywhere to remember their power and embrace the healing strength of sisterhood with her new single ‘Phenomenal Woman’, out now, following a sold out launch night at Stormzy's iconic ‘House Party’ venue.

Wilde has come a long way since her 2022 debut album ‘Sober, wasted, wasted sober’, which instilled her real-life experiences of overcoming addiction into twelve gritty, soulful alt-pop bangers. Her 2024 follow up ‘Teach Me How To Love’ continued Wilde’s commitment to embodying true self love and authenticity and refined her musical sound and healing journey further. Along the way, Wilde has gained valuable experiences from collaborating with heavyweights including Rudimental, Todd Terry, Grammy-winner Kizzo (Jon Batiste) and James Newman (writer of Rudimental’s Brit Award-winning “Waiting All Night”) and now, with ‘Phenomenal Woman’, Wilde is fully becoming what she always promised to be.

Produced by Tom Maine (WULU, Lex Amore), Wilde is joined by dancers Simran Hunjun and Yan Yin Yung (choreographer), for the hypnotic video for the track, which is laid out like an epic 90’s video game, calling in a nostalgic essence of those classics, Tekken and Tomb Raider, but where the women unite instead of fight one another. The visuals are striking, styling giving street but earthy, and Wilde adds yet another string to her multi-faceted talents as a singer, rapper, producer, DJ and now showing her dancer persona too. Taking inspiration from naughties girl bands such as the iconic - Destinies Child. Musically, the track is a new wave anthem that’s raw yet soulful and hard to place in a box. There’s more space for contemplation than Wilde’s previous works and the grooves feel almost tighter in the way that sometimes less is more. Tribal infused rhythms and a deep sub bass underpin soothing waves of Jessica’s soul searing vocals and flecks of jazzy piano samples sweep through like past struggles fading away and the epiphany of a spiritual awakening and self-realization becoming so clear at the forefront.

Wilde has been making her mark in recent years, not only with her music gaining attention from the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, Clash, Complex, Wonderland and The Independent and being featured on editorial playlists across Spotify, Apple, Pandora and Tidal, but with her platform ‘PxSSY PWR’, which she created to elevate exceptional underground female talent through events and community building. Jessica has also now created a ‘Phenomenal Woman’ IG series, with which she has been encouraging women to share ‘What it means to them to be a phenomenal woman’, along with their own videos, which has seen a wide range of videos being created by women across the world so far.

Known for her high-voltage energy and magnetic stage presence, Wilde has lit up Glastonbury, Soul Town Festival, Jazz Cafe, Ronnie Scotts, Riviera Maya Jazz Fest (Mexico), and Bospop (Netherlands) where she opened for Nile Rodgers and curated a PxSSY PWR takeover on the Noirganica stage for Secret Garden Party Festival. ‘Phenomenal Woman’ follows Wilde’s collab with PRVNA on the track ‘En Mi Alma’ which she performed with her at BBC Introducing On The River this year and Wilde’s recent single ‘Love Like This’ which was made Record of the week by DJ Spoony on BBC Radio 2’s ‘Good Groove’ show.

The video for ‘Phenomenal Woman’ has already been picking up VEVO playlist adds and has gained over 14K views, so it’s safe to say that Jessica Wilde ready to fully flourish into this vivid new chapter of her career and to keep on knocking down barriers as an independent artist and advocate for female empowerment.

“I see Phenomenal Woman as not just a song but a mantra for all women to remember how phenomenal we are”, Wilde explains.
