Jess Glynne Songs

Our top 10 Jess Glynne songs list digs deep into the music of a Grammy Award-winning English artist famed for her awe-inspiring vocals and striking songs. Jess Glynne had her passion for music grow when she in her early teenage years. When she was fifteen, Jess Glynne applied for the TV show The X Factor to showcase Britain and her magnificent music talent. However, she dropped out of the auditions after disagreeing with the producers.

Jess Glynne shelved her music career only to revive it later after traveling the world. This was majorly influenced by a job she took in a music management firm. Jess Glynne interacted with tons of producers, singers, and songwriters thanks to the job. Eventually, she rekindled the urge to start a musical career. She would then take several years to sharpen her musical skills.

This included taking a short music course at Access Creative College. Jess Glynne met producer Bless Beats and English musician Jin Jin at the music college, with whom she worked with later in life. After being awarded a recording contract by Atlantic Records, Jess Glynne quit her job to fully concentrate on her music career.

July 2014, Jess Glynne released “Right Here,” her debut single. Clean Bandit once again collaborated with Jess Glynne for the release of the hit “Real Love.”

Jess Glynne worked with multiple artists, including MO, Tinie Tempah, Little Mix, and Rudimental. Later, she released her sophomore album, Always in Between (2018).
