REEDITION DE GALACTICA RUSH
Jhelisa also marks an incredible 30 years since the release of her acclaimed debut album ‘Galactica Rush’ and the new version of the album on vinyl is out now, beautifully remastered in Hi Res Audio and cut at half speed to vinyl by Miles Showell at Abbey Road from the original analogue Masters. When ‘Galactica Rush’ was originally released in 1994 on Dorado it was quickly hailed as a masterpiece by the media, from The Guardian, Time Out, i-D, NME, MOJO, Mixmag to Musicweek, ‘Galactica Rush’ became one of the greatest neo soul, jazz funk and trip hop albums of all time and a seminal essential for the record collector.
Jhelisa, who GQ dubbed ‘Cosmic princess of soul’, has been marching through uncharted musical territories since the mid-1990s when she stunned audiences and critics with both her extraordinary voice and deliciously daring music. Mississippi-born Jhelisa comes from a musical family and is the niece of funk pioneers Vicki Anderson and Bobby Byrd from the James Brown band, and the cousin of Carleen & Bartlett Anderson and sister of Pamela Anderson from Incognito’s ‘100° and Rising’ album. Across 4 solo albums released on seminal London label Dorado Records, Jhelisa has journeyed through soul, trip hop, jazz, avant-garde, gospel and esoteric sonic experimentations. She has been the go-to vocalist for the likes of Bjork, Massive Attack and The Shamen, and toured with James Brown, The Roots, Herbie Hancock, Sting, and recorded with Chaka Khan and Bryan Ferry. Her thrillingly genre-smashing approach to music subverts her sweet, sensual voice with emotionally raw, spiritually resonant lyrics and a musical sophistication seen nowhere else. In 2022, Jhelisa surprise released ‘Oxygen’, which Gilles Peterson hailed “She’s back… the return of Jhelisa… extraordinarily brilliant… well worth the wait”. Jhelisa is currently working on her fifth studio album ‘Wild Orbits’, expected in 2025.
