Jessie Murph’s That Ain’t No Man That’s The Devil comes out this Friday, and the singer shares her Amy WInehouse inspo for her new music. She also talks about her collab with Jelly Roll on “Wild Ones,” her Sexyy Red pre-show ritual and more!
Jessie Murph:I just hope they’re … they can feel, like, the emotion behind it, because there’s a lot of emotion behind it. I’d say it’s like the first one … of the first times I’ve, like, fully come into my artistry.
Hey, y’all, it’s Jessie Murph, and you’re watching Billboard News.
I’d say it’s my most authentic music yet. It’s definitely, like, straight from the soul. Like, everything I’m saying is stuff that I, like, went through and just felt like I needed to get out ’cause there’s a lot of, like, anger, there’s a lot of sadness, there’s a lot of different emotions in there. But I don’t know, this album was such a process of, like, healing for me personally, but sonically, it’s a little different from all my other stuff. A lot of it was, like, more inspired by Amy Winehouse. I think I’ve always just like resonated with her, like, lyrically, and I think her voice has so much like soul in it. This project, not even, like, specifically by Amy Winehouse, I think, like, soul in general has been really inspiring to me lately. But yeah, and hers is, like soul, but it’s, like, darker. And I really love that.
Probably this one quote, “I Hope It Hurts.” The vocals are really big. It’s super soulful and just a very, like, painful song. And I love it.
So much fun. Best dude I’ve ever met, seriously, such a good guy.

Yes, I was working on this album which took a lot of time, effort and love. And I’m very excited that my fans and the public will get to listen to what I’ve been working on for three years.
Oh, that must be really exciting. And I love the colors that you have in it, you know the sonic transitions also. What’s the story behind it?
Yeah, so I have this phrase that says “Le Clique is the family, Rockstar life is the movement.” So basically, rockstar life is my movement and Le Clique is like my crew, you know? My company that I will be working with talents in the future and all that. So you know, it’s just my new step in my career, you know? A new chapter, so I felt like it was crucial to present this to the world and what’s better than putting it as a name?
Amazing. And the album does arrive at a new stage in your career, so what does it mean to you just professionally and personally?

Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet (via Island/Universal) debuts at the summit of the ARIA Albums Chart, published Friday, Aug. 30, for her first leader in the land Down Under.
Short n’ Sweet is her sixth album, and first to crack the top 10. Previously, her highest-charting LP was Emails I Can’t Send, which peaked at No. 27 in 2022.

With that hot start, Carpenter breaks a four-week unbroken stand at the summit by Australian acts (Lime Cordiale, Tones & I, Amy Shark and Cold Chisel).
Sabrina’s domination doesn’t end there. Her latest single, “Taste,” debuts at No. 1 on the ARIA Chart, ahead of “Please Please Please” and “Espresso,” respectively, for a rare trifecta. All three tracks have now logged time at the chart summit.
According to ARIA, Carpenter is the first artist to swamp the top three since April 2024, when bestie and touring partner Taylor Swift did so. On that occasion, TayTay owned the entire top 10 with tracks from The Tortured Poets Department, an historic feat. Carpenter lands another seven tracks in the top 50, and becomes the first act to secure three ARIA No. 1s in the same calendar year, since Drake did it in 2018.
Coming in at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart is Aussie indie act Teenage Dads’ Majordomo (Chugg/MGM), their second album, while Sydney pop punk outfit Stand Atlantic completes an all-new top three Was Here (Hopeless Records/RKT), new at No. 3. Both are career best chart positions.
Close behind is Irish alternative rock outfit Fontaines D.C. with their fourth album Romance (XL/Inertia), new at No. 6. That’s a serious uplift from the Dubliners’ 2020 effort A Hero’s Death, which peaked at No. 26, and Skinty Fa, which topped out at No. 24 in 2022.
Finally, Travis Scott lassos a top 10 spot with Days Before Rodeo (Epic/Sony), new at No. 9. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Houston, TX rapper reissues his 2014 mixtape with additional material, across new formats, including streaming platforms for the first time. The original mixtape didn’t impact the ARIA Chart, though Scott has three ARIA top 10 albums to his name, including No. 1s for Astroworld (from 2018) and Utopia (2023).
