Something Has To Give

This song celebrates those moments of escape with the ones dear to you. 

To be released on my upcoming album via @spiritgoth June 21st. 
I wrote and recorded this song in my bedroom after coming back from a getaway with my lover, when life was simpler and everything felt right. The song came together super quickly as I felt my skin radiate its pink glow as the sun went down - smiling at the warmth my body gave off.

Jess Cornelius, the New Zealand-born, Australian-raised, and now Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter, has an intense desire for personal authenticity, which is reflected in her songs as they explore womanhood, relationships, ageing and existence, all delivered through her startling voice. 

“No Difference” was written in Melbourne before moving to Los Angeles while trying to navigate everything going on in her life. The song is part self-help mantra, part blind fatalism. Its video, directed by Thomas Hyland, was filmed in a bathroom in Melbourne and features friends and acquaintances of Cornelius. 

“We wanted to introduce the water element because of its cleansing/rebirthing properties, but water is also destructive, and the image of someone wearing a white suit in a full bathtub implies someone slightly unhinged,” says Cornelius. “We wanted to expand on this idea of rebirth by showing all these women having miniature moments of self-reckoning, which is what I feel people often do in the bathroom. We use the bathroom—and the bathroom mirror—to collect ourselves, to recover, to psych ourselves up, to escape, to self destruct, to castigate ourselves, to tally up our worth, to make deals with ourselves, to re-evaluate, to preen and primp and steel ourselves.”

After releasing three critically acclaimed albums with her Melbourne-based band Teeth & Tongue, Cornelius sought out a more personal project. She began performing and recording under her own name, releasing the “Nothing Is Lost” EP (Dot Dash/Remote Control) in 2017. “No Difference” is the first new music Cornelius has released since then.
