Following on from last month's single Julia Roberts, jo from school returns today with the tender offering, Weight, ahead of her forthcoming debut EP, Grace, Flair & Distance, which will be released on the 7th August via Chess Club Records. Acting as an introspective moment of reflection, the track’s softly plucked guitar melodies and calming vocals reveal another layer of the artist’s dynamic talent. Speaking about ‘Weight’, Jo explains: “This one was unique in that it was hard to keep writing, but [my producer] Rich knew it could be something. We understood that there was a fine line between supporting the songwriting and emphasising the parts that needed a push, and overdressing the song to a point where the rawness is covered up and lost. It was the first time he ‘pushed’ for me to continue with an idea - I’m very grateful he did. It’s a soft and heavy song, and my favourite to play live.” Take a listen below with the video, shot by Jo’s sister, Grace, on a family holiday in the lush Welsh countryside.
