with the song: "Little Sparks"


Artist's Biography

‘Little Sparks’, the new single by Jessie Reid out on 1st August 2025, sees the UK-based artist exploring the fleeting, everyday moments that remind us how fragile and beautiful life is. ‘Little Sparks’ is taken from Jessie’s second album due out in October 2025.

Jessie’s raw and intimate indie-folk has already racked up over 10 million streams, support from the likes of Chris Hawkins and Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music, spins on BBC Radio Ulster & BBC Radio Wales, a regional BBC Introducing Artist of the Year accolade, and a breakfast show Single of the Day on LA's SoCal 88.5FM (Nic Harcourt).

Of ‘Little Sparks’, Jessie says:

“It's inspired by Virginia Woolf's idea of 'moments of being' — those rare flashes where life feels deeply present. The track explores joy, connection, and the quiet comfort of knowing we're not alone, even in the darker days. It's about finding meaning in the smallest moments, especially when things feel uncertain. Lines like "patterns forming on the floor" and "moments painted gold" hint at how the ordinary becomes extraordinary when we're paying attention.”

A songwriter wise beyond her years, Jessie’s understated vocals and innovative percussive guitar style have drawn praise from tastemaker press and comparisons with the likes of Iron & Wine, Lucy Rose, Memorial & Ben Howard, with tracks enjoying wide editorial support at Spotify, including the coveted Most Beautiful Songs in the World playlist, and sync placements on Channel 4, SKY and ITV.
