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.

Isabela Raygoza: Welcome to Beat by Beat, the Billboard interview. I’m Isabela Raygoza and I’m here with Jhayco. How are you?

Jhayco: Good, good. Happy.

Very happy to have you here in New York. You are about to release a fire album ‘cause I had a preview to listen to. So let’s talk about it. ‘Le Clique: Vida Rockstar (X).’ Exactly. Well, first of all, it’s your first album in three years since ‘Timelezz.’ 

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?
