One of this year’s most recognisable songs has come courtesy of little known US singer songwriter Jes Hudak.
Jes found fame last year through the reality series ‘Platinum Hit’ over in the US, where she placed second to eventual winner Sonyae Elise.
Then earlier this year, her single ‘Different Worlds’ (recorded along with George Krikes) almost scraped into the top 20 on the ARIA singles chart after being featured heavily on the TV promos for the inaugural season of ‘The Voice’. It went on to achieve a gold sales accreditation for sales of more than 35,000 copies.
“The success of ‘Different Worlds’ in Australia has been one of the most unexpected and wonderful things to happen in my career,” says Jes in a statement. “The amount of love and support that has poured forth from everyone in Australia has been overwhelming.”
Now Jes is moving on with her music career, launching her latest single ‘Another Day’ at Aussie media this morning.
Inspired by the “uncertainty and hardship of America’s crumbling economy”, the track was penned for an independent film and has already picked up the “Pop Single Of The Year” gong at the LA Music Awards.
And with a promotional visit planned in the months ahead, along with some intimate live dates, there’s every chance we’ll get to see ‘Another Day’ replicating or bettering the success of its predecessor.
‘Another Day’ is available digitally now.
