That spontaneity has led to an album that feels wildly alive. It’s unpredictable, emotionally charged, and deeply personal. One track in particular, “The Man That Came Back”, pushed Jessie to her limit. Written when she was just 17, she’s since recorded what feels like hundreds of versions trying to capture the exact emotion she felt back then. “That one’s been such a bitch,” she laughs. “My voice changed so much, my delivery changed. But the feeling? I wanted that to stay the same.”

Visually, Sex Hysteria draws on a sleek, ‘60s-inspired aesthetic that mirrors Jessie’s love for vintage culture. That same visual confidence made its way into her live debut of new material, bridging music and fashion in an unexpected way. Debuting her then unreleased single “Touch Me Like a Gangster” at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway in Miami was a surprising but savvy move. “That was my first time doing anything fashion-related,” she recalls. “I was nervous as hell, but it was such a fun event. I love Miami. 10 out of 10.”

On stage, Jessie wants fans to feel something deeper than just a catchy chorus. Her live shows are about connection, safety, and emotional release. “I feel so vulnerable up there sometimes, singing these songs in front of people. But I want them to feel safe too, to let their guard down and be themselves. That’s the goal. That’s the space I want to create.”

Even with all the high-energy moments on the album, Jessie stays grounded with her pre-show ritual, think less diva, more DIY glam. “I do my own makeup before every show,” she shares. “It’s quiet, therapeutic. I put on Drake, some Sexyy Red, and just focus. It helps me zone in.”

Raised in Alabama, Jessie’s Southern roots continue to shape her perspective and  sound. “Country’s always gonna be a part of me,” she says. “That’s what I grew up with. But I’m grateful for how I was raised because it gave me a different point of view. Traveling the world now, I realize how unique that upbringing really was.”

When it comes to musical inspirations, Jessie casts a wide net. “Adele, Amy Winehouse, Elton John, Lauryn Hill, Lil Baby, Etta James,” she lists. “There was always something playing in my house. I soaked it all in.”

Despite building her fanbase on TikTok and YouTube, Jessie remains refreshingly unfiltered about the pressures of being “visible.” The duality of being both artist and content creator is something she’s still navigating. “It’s the weirdest thing—trying to be creative, and also market that creativity,” she admits. “It’s not just about making music anymore. You also have to figure out how to sell it, which is exhausting.  I’m gonna stay true to myself, no matter what.”

And that stubbornness? It’s her superpower. Jessie has never been one to chase trends. She’s here to be real, no matter how chaotic or uncomfortable that may be. The key has always been trusting her gut. “I don’t feel pressured to innovate for the sake of it,” she says. “ I don’t need to change to prove anything to anyone.” It’s this unwavering self-belief that powers Sex Hysteria, and why every track hits with such precision and intent.

Looking ahead, Sex Hysteria marks not just the end of a chapter, but the beginning of something bigger. The album is a statement of independence, identity, and artistic control. “I’ve grown so much, personally and musically,” she says. “I feel more free, more myself. I’m not afraid to say what I need to say anymore.”

With a growing global fanbase, a new tour on the horizon, and a voice that refuses to be ignored, Jessie Murph is just getting started.
