Tessa Rose Jackson

Dutch-British artist Tessa Rose Jackson offers another glimpse of her upcoming studio album in the shape of new single 'Built To Collide', out January 9th. PRE SAVE

Following last year’s releases ‘Fear Bangs The Drum’ and ‘By Morning’, multi-talented Jackson rings in the new year with one final glimpse of her forthcoming record. The singer, songwriter and composer hereby presents 'Built To Collide' - a dynamic indie-pop track, progressively intensified with dreamy guitar, playful strings and culminating in a fast-paced drum finale. Perfectly timed for the beginning of a new year, this song is a gentle reminder that while life deserves to be taken seriously, there’s joy in knowing when not to.

Tessa Rose Jackson: “This is my rant song. A song about accepting that sometimes you live and you don’t learn. It’s human nature to mess up, to sometimes fall into the old mistakes you thought you’d grown out of. This song is my celebration of this and an invitation to slightly poke fun at yourself. Thought you’d know better by now? Well guess what, you don’t! Dust yourself off, have a little laugh and move on.”

Jackson’s third studio album, The Lighthouse, is set to be released later this month - a haunting yet life-affirming reflection on ancestry and belonging. Written during a secluded period in rural France, the forthcoming album sees her stepping out from behind her acclaimed decade-long moniker Someone to embrace her own name once more. Rich with ghostly folklore, spectral folk, and cinematic alt-pop textures, the record explores themes of mortality, memory, and gratitude, ultimately shining a light on life’s most fragile and beautiful details.

“The Lighthouse felt like a beacon,” she reflects. “It’s an album that talks about death, but not in a purely dark sense. For me, it’s also about the celebration of life - embracing fears, identity, and the stories we inherit.”
