Jessica Rosemary Frances Mills was born in 1981, and grew up in Kentish Town, North London. She is the daughter of Labour MP Tessa Jowell and lawyer David Mills, and attended Acland Burghley School, where she met Niomi McLean-Daley, better known as Ms. Dynamite, and they became friends. After graduating from Sussex University, she began working in a local pub to fund a continued interest in music on the side, and after a steady string of collaborations with various musicians throughout the 2000's, she eventually got her real break when she toured with Leftfield in 2010. In 2011 she signed a record deal with Island Records, who released her singles 'Vultures' and 'Live For What I Die For' that year, and she also recorded a cover of The Cure's 'A Forest', of which Robert Smith himself has admitted to be a fan. Her debut album, 'Twist Of Fate', was originally set to be released on 28 January 2013, but due to her label's poor promotion of her single 'For My Sins', the album was pushed back and ultimately shelved. Since her departure from Island Records, she has signed with Warner/Chappell Music, and her first release with this label is a free download of 'Sweet Love', an original song that incorporates lyrics from Anita Baker's song of the same name. We have a rough guide to the track-listing of the album, which would have included all the singles she released in 2011 and 2012, and I've added that Cure cover, as well as 'Sweet Love', even though that was fractionally outside the timeframe of the record, as it would be a shame to ignore it because of that.
