Rise Up Debut Full Length Album Launch

“What starts like a Floydian synth drone in ‘Awakening’ quickly turns into one of the most enrapturing vocal albums of the year, with Jessica’s otherworldly voice both merging with the layered synth and string backdrops as well as shining on top of it elsewhere.”

“Australia’s Jessica O’Donoghue creates pop music like you have never heard it before. Mixing electronic pop with opera, medieval music and jazz her music is an eclectic and invigorating listening experience. She has released recently her new album, Rise Up, produced by Alyx Dennison. Its eight tracks remain true to her creative ethos and are darkly atmospheric and moving that challenge and confound you in the best possible way as O’Donoghue pushes the envelope on what pop music can be.”

With Rise Up, Jessica O’Donoghue has cooked up her most epic, mysterious and ambitious album yet. Working with producer Alyx Dennison (best known for her work in the experimental pop duo Kyü) and engineer David Trumpanis (Sarah Blasko, Seeker Lover Keeper, The Voice), she turns up the dramatic pop dial in an extended suite that fuses operatic grandeur with a sense of intimacy that burrows deep.
