“A mercurial talent, Jessica has created songs with real depth. Listening to the album is a full-bodied experience: theatrical & intimate, operatic & haunting, raw & urgent, at once dark & contemplative & inspiring. It’s pop music with a difference.” – Ashleigh Wilson (Arts Editor at The Australian) In 2022 Jessica releases her second album titled 'Rise Up'. Combining industrial electronics, rich vocal harmonies, warm synths and operatic influences, it is without a doubt O’Donoghue’s most ambitious release to date. With production from Alyx Dennison & engineer David Trumpanis, O’Donoghue continues to haunt audiences & critics alike – putting her as a pioneer of her own brand of post-baroque dramatic pop. Serene in some moments, relentless in others - 'Rise Up' crafts a strange beauty through otherworldly composition. O’Donoghue’s use of languages, vocalisations and vocal production allows her to create microcosms of emotion – all the while celebrating femininity through her music.
