Jess Glynne Discusses Her Struggles with the Music Industry and Teases New Single ‘Enough’

Published January 27, 2024

British singer Jess Glynne candidly expressed her disconnection from music, admitting to a period when she 'fell out of love' with her craft. In an insightful interview, Glynne shared the personal struggles that led to her withdrawal from the music scene, including the loss of her grandmother and a close friend, and the exhaustion from her strenuous world tour in 2019.

Confronting Challenges and Backlash

Glynne's career faced a turbulent time following her inadvertent use of a transphobic term in 2021, which resulted in severe backlash and death threats. Despite identifying as bisexual and being a part of the LGBTQ community herself, Glynne said she did not realize the term 'tranny' was considered offensive. The incident led to immense pressure and a feeling of being overwhelmed, as she faced aggressive criticism instead of constructive guidance from the community.

Upcoming Music and Personal Growth

Fans of Jess Glynne can anticipate new music, as she announces her upcoming single 'Enough.' The single resonates with Glynne's journey of self-protection through tough times. Created in collaboration with Greg Kurstin, Adele's renowned producer, the song symbolizes a significant achievement for Glynne and affirms her value as an artist. Previously, she also declined the opportunity to give one of her songs to megastar Rihanna, a decision that underscored her commitment to her identity as a musician.

As part of her healing process, Glynne found solace in Los Angeles, working through depression and isolation with the help of music legends like Joni Mitchell. Her experiences have profoundly influenced her songwriting and have led to a renewed relationship with her artistry.
