NFV Song Spotlight: Jessy Fury and The Sound's Heaven

Jessy Fury and The Sound is the project of Jesse Robitaille and they recently played Hotel Ziggy. Robitaille's vocals bring his pop tunes to life. He projects an Elvis Presley reincarnation, but mixed in with pop sounds of the late 80s / early 90s. On this night, the band did toss in a Presley cover song. His backing band is selected to create energy. Emily Dickinson on the keytar and Aubrey Harris on bass amplified and synergized perfectly with Robitaille. Let's not forget the beats and tracks of Declan O'Raidy. The packed house ate it up.

Jessy Fury currently only has four songs up on Spotify at the time of this blog post. Two of them are covers. There is the Prince / Sinead O'Connor song "Nothing Compares 2 U" and the Garbage song "Only Happy When It Rains." What did I say about his pop sound inspirations -- though admittedly I wouldn't consider either Sinead O'Connor or Garbage as pop artists, but it gives you a general timeframe of musical inspiration.

Let's get to his own music. If you're keeping track of the math, that means he only has two of his own songs up on Spotify. I'll focus on the song "Heaven." Let's say that hopefully there are more songs released that have the catchy sounds of this song. It is a song of the start of a romance where the singer is being swept off his feet:

I want you to wreck me
And show me the way
I want you to remind me
To live for today

At the same time, his significant other is a touch hesitant: 

And I know and I know and I know you’ve been hurt before
But I won’t let that happen anymore

The music floats and so does Robitaille's vocals. The lyrics are sung at just the perfect pace and the vocals ascend and descend the chord structure with ease.
