Pop singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jessie Murph returns today with her highly anticipated debut mixtape, drowning. The 18-year-old Alabama native broke through in 2021 with her single “Upgrade,” and she’s been steadily racking up millions of streams and TikTok followers ever since, earning her a place on Genius’ Artists to Watch list for 2023.
Leading up to the release of drowning, Murph shared a plethora of singles from the mixtape, including “Pray,” “How Could You,” and “Always Been You,” the latter of which has already amassed over 100 million Spotify streams alone. In fact, only three of the 11 tracks on the project have never been heard before: “Where Do You Go,” “What Happened to Ryan,” and “They Leave.” Murph told Ones to Watch that she hopes her new music shows “all different sides” of herself.
drowning isn’t the only reason Murph is poised to have a big 2023. This spring, the singer will embark on her first-ever North American headline tour, which includes 29 dates and kicks off in Columbus, OH, on February 23.
