‘Make Me The One’ holds all of the aspects to become an instant atmospheric romantic hit single. KARMACODA allow for a slow, glistening ambiance to develop, putting Jessica’s signature vocals centre stage and building an air of timeless beauty around it. The band did what many great artists have done before them – turned pain into power and released it as an intimate ode to the world.

Speaking of the single, Eric of KARMACODA tells us: “COVID 19 happens and Brett just gets better –  absolutely unphased with the relentless excellence that can only come from collaborating while Jessica conjures lyrics that call to the depth of Karmacoda’s expression. I listened to Jessica’s raw take on ‘Make Me The One’ and I shed a tear, feeling a kind of truth that can’t be better described.”
