My rec­om­men­da­tion for today is the glo­ri­ous, all-natural acoustic pop music of Tessa Rose Jackson, a 20-year-old singer-songwriter born and liv­ing in Amsterdam. “She emi­grated at 15 to take up a place at the BRIT School in London, where singers like Adele and Kate Nash also learned their craft,” as she states in her short bio on her webpage

‘Change Time’ was recently licensed by IKEA to be used in a tele­vi­sion com­mer­cial aired in Germany. I don’t know how that hap­pened. Maybe they found her songs on Bandcamp by pure chance (it’s more than good enough for that), or she used her con­nec­tions in the music indus­try that she prob­a­bly had built while attend­ing that pres­ti­gious school. These are just guesses, of course, but what­ever is the case, she seems to be off to a really good start in her career.
