Jess Glynne's debut album, I Cry When I Laugh.
The four songs at the heart of I Cry When I Laugh are divined from one rewarding, traumatic, consuming affair. ‘Hold My Hand’ you will already know, a genuine sales and radio goliath with such a reach that it has turned her from being the noticeable feature at the frontline of Britain’s urgent appetite for pop-house bangers into a proper homespun superstar. As a song, it feels as it speaks, an anthem to positivity and … mehrpersonal communion, written with Jess’s most consistent collaborator and musical soul sister, Janeé ""Jin Jin"" Bennett. It is also the key to unlocking the other key tracks. ‘Don’t Be So Hard’ is about painting a smile on while ‘Gave Me Something’ is about always thinking you’ll be a certain kind of girl and then turning into something else. And then ‘Take Me Home’, the most downbeat track on the album, is about being able to revisit that sad moment. She allowed herself one ballad, after all. One of the albums closing tracks - ‘Saddest Vanilla’ - sees Jess singing alongside multimillion selling British popstar Emeli Sande, the only artist to feature on the album. weniger
