Premiere

897 // Jess Is Fine – Feeling Down Feeling Cool

Jess is more than fine with her debut on the rising French outlet Lake Of Confidence.

Lake Of Confidence uncorks the third round of its namesake compilation series. The Corsica‑based imprint gathers five names for this volume: Jess is Fine, Actarus, Workerz, RGR, and Priscilla X. The selection drifts through Electronica’s softer edges, House’s steady pulse, New Wave’s angular charm, and Indie Dance’s floor‑ready swing. No two tracks share the same temperature, yet the collection holds together under a shared affection for melody and momentum. A snapshot of a label that knows exactly which voices to invite to the table.

French producer Jess is Fine opens the proceedings with “Feeling Down Feeling Cool.” The track rides an early Electro gait – clipped, syncopated, shoulders moving before the kick even settles. A bouncing bassline provides the spine, elastic and unhurried, while sharp vocals cut through with a Miss Kittin‑esque detachment: unfazed, knowing, never desperate. The whole thing balances a certain melancholy with an undeniable urge to move. It’s the sound of someone who has felt the weight but chooses to shrug it off, track by track. An opener that sets a high bar for the rest of the VA.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label.
