Pain features a unique production which focuses a bit more on beats then vocals


JLouise aka Jemma O'Neill is a London born Singer/Songwriter who has grown up around music whilst also using it as an escape as well as a means of self expression.

Jemma's musical career began with her performing with a Soul band, during which two EPs featured smooth sounds were released.

She then decided to go solo and is also looking to release an organic and unique sounding RnB album so expect an eclectic combination of Hip-Hop beats, Soul hooks and Acoustic tracks chock full of emotionally deep lyrics.

Pain features a unique production which tends to focus a bit more on the beats then JLouise's vocals which feel masked at times but despite this the lyrics are pretty impressive. I would really like to hear an acoustic version of this song.
