RECENT PRESS





July 29, 2009
produced by JASON MILLER / ETHAN PAYNE

During a recent stop in Athens, GA, Jessica met up with the guys at Athens Soundies, who describe their site as "a series of one take, low-fi, live sound music videos." We think they do a cool job. Check out Jessica's intimate, acoustic performances of "Kiss Me Again" and "Grown Man." watch videos






Austin American-Statesman Best Bet

July 21, 2009
by BRIAN T. ATKINSON

Jessica Lea Mayfield's starkly confessional With Blasphemy So Heartfelt shades blossoming romance with deep shadows. Key element: the 19-year-old's desert sunset voice. Accordingly, Mayfield's emotive debut, a moody folk-pop collection both ambient and ambitious, has thrived as a television soundtrack. view Q & A

Concert Review

June 3, 2009
by BEN RATLIFF

Her country-rock is wary and passive and trancelike, and kind of way out. The songs document love relationships from a vantage point so abstracted that it might be a space satellite. Growing up in a family bluegrass band in Kent, Ohio, she made her first record at 15, perfecting the sound of withdrawn emotion. She’s in a special position for someone so young, and she hasn’t gotten there by giggling. view article






USA Today: Pop Candy

June 2, 2009
by WHITNEY MATHESON

I saw Jessica Lea Mayfield, who put on a mesmerizing, heartfelt show with her band. I melted during "Kiss Me Again" and got quite excited when she brought out the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach for the last couple songs. (He produced her stellar debut.) She's still on tour, so see her if you can. view article

Mountain Stage

April 21, 2009

Daytrotter Session

April 16, 2009
Illustration by JOHNNIE CLUNEY
Words by SEAN MOELLER

Mayfield has such skill in her songwriting craft at such a frighteningly young age that it’s all the more remarkable – the pace and the voice and the tone of her words, like a forest whispering throughout the night – that she already can make unforgettable music seem so easy. view article / listen to session






Number One Album of 2008 - With Blasphemy So Heartfelt
Best New Artist of 2008 - Jessica Lea Mayfield


December 18, 2008
By THE BLURT EDITORS

And as we lived with the album, the realization grew that we were witnessing the flowering of a major artist; so much so, that in addition to picking With Blasphemy So Heartfelt our top album of 2008, Mayfield must surely be our Best New Artist, too. That's our own imprimatur, certainly, but when you consider some of the musicians she edged out - among them, Lykke Li, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and She & Him - it's nothing less than an article of faith, too. view article






World Cafe Studio Sessions

December 9, 2008

Jessica played a session on NPR's World Cafe. The session included "We've Never Lied", "Kiss Me Again", "For Today", and an interview with host David Dye. To listen to the session, click HERE. Be sure to check out the web-only outtake of "I'm Not Lonely Anymore".




Review of With Blasphemy So Heartfelt
Rating: 8.2


November 11, 2008
By STEPHEN DEUSNER

Jessica Lea Mayfield sings with a drawl that goes slightly flat when she sustains notes and gives certain words the semblance of regional color. It could be a personal characteristic of her downcast voice, or perhaps a nod to her Rust Belt upbringing, but the 19-year-old singer/songwriter, who recorded her 2007 debut under the name Chittlin', sounds immediately distinctive and poised on "Kiss Me Again", the opening track on her second album, With Blasphemy So Heartfelt, calling to mind but ultimately surpassing comparisons to Hope Sandoval or Syd Straw. "You can kiss me again if you want, I don't mind," she sings, yet she sounds actively invested in her romantic passivity-- a fascinating and endlessly listenable contradiction. continue reading
