Jess Glynne - I Cry When I Laugh (UK: 8/21 | US: 9/11)

[Juan Carlos]

Jess Glynne is a British singer and songwriter, who is known for featuring on the UK #1 hits "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit and "My Love" by Route 94. Also, the former won in the Best Dance Recording category at the 2015 Grammy Awards.

So far, she has released two solo singles. Those are "Right Here", which was produced by Gorgon City and reached at #6 in the UK, and her latest one "Hold My Hand", which was produced by Jack Patterson (a member of Clean Bandit) and reached atop there, being at that spot for three weeks in a row. Also, she had a new collaboration with Clean Bandit called "Real Love", which peaked at #2 too.



She talked to Billboard about her experience at Coachella, where she performed "Right Here" on Gorgon City's set, and she mentioned that her album 'is finished and ready to go'. Also, she's planning to release an EP in the States (I guess it's North America) as a way to introduce herself properly to the market and then, the album will be out. Describing it, she said that it's a soulful and happy album and it comes from where she was inspired from a kid to now.

There's still no information when her debut album will be out, but Amazon UK is listing it for a June 29 release, which may or may not be the final release date.

Jess uploaded the photo above on Twitter, revealing a collaboration with Tinie Tempah, which is called "Not Letting Go" and it will be released mid June. Also, she has been posting some photos (1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5) on Instagram with a countdown, which looks like it could be the artwork of her debut album.

One of my most anticipated releases this year!

[getonthebus]

Queen. She'll have, what 5 UK #1s on this album before it even comes out? I can't wait.

[Glove Slap]

The album cover is...not good, but this still on my must check out list this year.

I like Hold My Hand, but I hope most of the tracks aren't as basic.

[Linnethia Monique]

Perched. One of my most anticipated releases this year.

[Hurricane Lee]

LOL @ that cover. Is that basic jagged graphic supposed to represent crying? . I have only heard Rather Be once (in someone's car last month) and it was very good so I am intrigued.

Listen to Right Here and get your life!

[Glove Slap]

I'm really glad Right Here is making the cut. Was worried it might have been cut since it came out a while back.

Jess uploaded the acoustic version of Route 94's "My Love" on her YouTube channel.

[Juan Carlos]

"Rather Be" and "Real Love", Jess' collaborations with Clean Bandit, as well as "Right Here" and the acoustic version of "My Love" are available as instant grats if the album is pre-ordered. Also, it has been confirmed that Emeli Sandé will be featured on "Saddest Vanilla" and the Route 94 version of "My Love" is indeed Route 94's single, where the credits has been changed on the tracklist.

GRAMMY(R) Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter Jess Glynne Unveils Eagerly Anticipated Solo Debut "I CRY WHEN I LAUGH" (September 11th – Atlantic Records)
Posted on: June 22, 2015 at 5:23 pm, by admin

NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwired – Jun 22, 2015) –

LP HIGHLIGHTED BY WORLDWIDE #1 HIT SINGLE, “HOLD MY HAND“

WILL ALSO FEATURE “AIN’T GOT FAR TO GO” WHICH FANS CAN WATCH AN EXCLUSIVE STRIPPED DOWN PERFORMANCE STREAMING EXCLUSIVELY ON THEFADER.COM!

FIRST-EVER NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE TREK BEGINS SEPTEMBER 14TH

“Jess Glynne Proves She’s Here To Stay On ‘Ain’t Got Far To Go‘”–THE FADER

“a breathtaking display of swooning acrobatics…a stunningly smart pop track with the smokiest, most honest vocals this side of the Atlantic.” —SPIN

“A powerful piece of pop… an undeniably catchy, feel-good pop tune that channels ’90s R&B in the best possible way.” —VULTURE

Jess Glynne has announced details of her massively anticipated debut album. “I CRY WHEN I LAUGH” — the GRAMMY® Award-winning, UK-based singer/songwriter’s first full-length solo release — arrives everywhere on September 11th via Atlantic Records and will celebrate its release on her first-ever North American headline tour beginning September 14th at Washington, DC’s U Street Music Hall (see below itinerary) and www.jessglynne.co.uk.

“I CRY WHEN I LAUGH” features the worldwide hit, “Hold My Hand,” which debuted at #1 on the UK Singles Chart upon release and held the top spot for three consecutive weeks. The video (LINK) directed by Emil Nava (Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, Calvin Harris) boasts over 30 million individual views. Already a top 20 hit on Billboard‘s “Dance/Electronic Songs” chart, “Hold My Hand” is now blowing up in the US where it has already surpassed more than 1 million streams per week. Album also features “Aint Got Far To Go” which “proves she’s here to stay” and in the acoustic version (LINK) demonstrates her “soulful side” cosigns The FADER who premiered the video earlier today.

Already a GRAMMY® Award-winning (“Best Dance Recording”) worldwide superstar thanks to her featured contribution to Big Beat recording group Clean Bandit‘s global #1 smash, “Rather Be (Feat. Jess Glynne)”, receiving multiple gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications around the world. The track spent four consecutive weeks at #1 on UK Singles Chat upon initial 2014 release — the first single by a British artist to hold the position since Adele’s “Someone Like You” in 2011. “Rather Be” — which shattered a variety of long held records, including the most one-week plays ever at Spotify, a #1 in more than 13 countries, and the most one-week Shazams at Shazam.com — has since entered the record books as the longest running #1 in the history of the UK’s Official Streaming Chart, dominating the top spot for eight straight weeks and counting. As if all that weren’t enough, the “Rather Be” companion video has now surpassed a truly remarkable 292 million individual views: youtu.be/m-M1AtrxztU

On top of earning a Billboard‘s “Hot 100″ Top ten for her 2x RIAA platinum single “Rather Be,” Glynne has since scored a further string of UK hit singles, including Route 94’s chart-topping “My Love (Feat. Jess Glynne),” Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne’s “Real Love,” and her own top 10 solo debut, “Right Here.” She most recently teamed with British rap superstar Tinie Tempah for his new single, “Not Letting Go (Feat. Jess Glynne)”: youtu.be/nsDwItoNlLc.

I don't understand why "Right Here" isn't on the US edition but I digress.

[imreadynow]

So ready for her album! Don't Be So Hard on Yourself has been on repeat since the release. I'm sad her NYC show is sold out.. I would have loved to go.

[Juan Carlos]

"Gave Me Something" (Fan Lyric Video / Premiered on Facebook)

[Fancy]

i never commented on "why me" but on first listen it was absolute PERFECTION. i'm really feeling the acoustic version of "ain't got far to go" and can't wait to hear the studio version. "gave me something" lands pretty easily at the bottom of her collection for me, but even then, i was bopping at the end of the video.

i'm full stan mode and cannot wait for this to be released.

Album leaked.

From the Official Charts:

Congratulations to Jess Glynne, who lands straight in at Number 1 on this week's Official Albums Chart with I Cry When I Laugh.

The singer-songwriter's first record finishes the week with combined sales of just under 60,000, giving her the second fastest selling debut album of 2015 behind James Bay's Chaos And The Calm (64,000 combined sales).

I Cry When I Laugh includes Glynne's five Number 1 singles "Rather Be" (with Clean Bandit), "My Love" (with Route 94), "Hold My Hand", "Not Letting Go" (with Tinie Tempah), and "Don't Be So Hard On Yourself" as well as Top 10s "Right Here" and "Real Love" (with Clean Bandit).

She said the following to them:

"I can't believe it. It’s just... wow! It genuinely hasn't sunk in yet – it really hasn't. It's the most insane feeling to have your whole album accepted by the British public.

To see how well it's been received is possibly one of the most overwhelming feelings I’ve ever had. I'm so proud and excited about this album – I love every song on it. The fact that people are buying it and loving it as well is like some insane dream!"
