My One and Only One

Released in 2015 as her fifth studio effort, My One and Only One represents a high-water mark for Jessy J's ability to fuse smooth jazz with Latin and R&B influences. Produced largely by Paul Brown, the album features a stellar lineup of contemporary jazz heavyweights including Gregg Karukas and Ruslan Sirota. The record is notable for its ambitious covers, including a bossa-tinged version of The Cure's 'Lovesong' and a sultry take on Toni Braxton's 'You're Makin' Me High'. Unlike her earlier, more high-energy Latin pop-jazz experiments, this album leans into a more mature, 'after-hours' sound. The inclusion of flute on several tracks adds a new textural dimension to her discography. Critically, the album was praised for its production clarity and Jessy's evolving voice as both an instrumentalist and occasional vocalist, solidifying her position as a leading figure in the contemporary jazz scene.
