Jess Tenace – pretty

Melbourne-based singer and songwriter Jess Tenace has a vocal that immediately captivates.

The new single ‘pretty’ is a charming blend of indie-pop and rock, with a lo-fi style of production that gives the song a timeless quality. Lyrically, this is a classic heartbreak song that touches on themes of jealousy and self-doubt, and is sure to resonate with anyone who has suffered from a breakup (and let’s face it, who hasn’t!).

“Built around the double meaning of the word ‘pretty,’ the song shifts from ‘she’s pretty’ to feeling ‘pretty overwhelmed’ and ‘pretty not okay,’ capturing the spiral of jealousy, regret, and self-comparison after missing your chance.”

Tenace’s work centres around relationships and personal growth, and with songs like ‘pretty’, we’re quite sure this talent will go very far.
