When you think of someone struggling with depression or anxiety or being excluded socially, you might picture them lying in bed, isolated and sad \u2014 but Jessica Vaughn, also known as Jessy Jones, turned these emotions into a cathartic dance party for her upcoming EP Sad Girl Disco<\/em> Party<\/em><\/a>. The songs aim to promote self-celebration and finding fun in the midst of difficult situations, especially for those considered outcasts. Her latest single “It’s A Revolution” expresses this spirit with playful instrumentals and invigorating lyrics about triumphing over oppression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nineties pop meets blues rock on the three-minute track, which uses a fun, catchy beat to discuss social justice-induced euphoria and the power that comes from standing up for yourself: “Feel it coming a change\/A new dawn and a new age\/It\u2019s like a rush to the veins.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I wanted to touch on the political climate we live in,” she explains. “With the rise in hate crimes, I was starting to feel like you have to ask for permission to be different and that it’s controversial to stand up for your rights. I wanted a song where you could stand in defiance and in your power. It’s a song about the pursuit for equality, inclusion, diversity, and equity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
