Jim

Exploding onto the R&B/Pop scene, singer songwriter and producer Jessie Hillel takes on her alter ego as Jim. Presenting an adventurous mix of classical vocal techniques, layered harmonies, hip hop rhythms and orchestral flavours, Jim creates her own world of lush tropical beats with a contemporary flare. Drawing inspirations from Griff, Solange and FKA Twigs, Jim combines jazz, soul, R&B, pop and classical forms while injecting them into modern productions, delivering songs which immediately feel like old friends with new shoes.

Jim's latest release 'Santorini' showcases her unique sonic palette, blending rich horns and colourful synths alongside live percussion and MSO strings to create bright rays of sunshine that capture the infatuating feeling of romance and freedom one has while in love. As an ode to her parents' 25 years of marriage, Jim says: “Santorini is for love and the way it can put a glow around any situation if you choose to let it - to me this song is for my parents and the anniversary they shared in the middle of a pandemic. It was written in my bedroom and demoed in the space that is now my dad’s makeshift office. I hope it feels like laughing and being warm and drinking juice.”
