THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “That Ain’t No Man That’s The Devil is the highly anticipated debut studio album from rising star and powerhouse vocalist Jessie Murph. The album features collaborations with Jelly Roll, Teddy Swims, and Koe Wetzel. Off the heels of her global headline tour selling over 85,000 tickets and a major festival circuit, the genre bending maverick is finally ready for her biggest, brightest, and boldest chapter yet.
Born in Nashville in 2004 and raised in Athens, AL, Murph blends country storytelling with elements of alt-rock and R&B. Her breakthrough came from videos she posted to social media, with her covers of Fleetwood Mac and Britney Spears drawing attention from fans and record executives. She was signed to Columbia Records in 2021 and began writing her own material; those deeply honest, stylistically fluid songs took aim at her online critics and spoke to young listeners who wanted to hear music that acutely described their tangle of feelings.
Her 2023 debut mixtape, Drowning, includes cuts like the searingly diaristic Pray and the twangy They Leave that showcase her versatile voice and razor-sharp songwriting. Later that year, Murph notched collaborations with A-listers like Diplo and Maren Morris, and her duet with the similarly genre-agnostic Jelly Roll, Wild Ones, became her first U.S. Top 40 hit.”
