Jessie Murph, I’m Not There For You [📷: Columbia]Pop singer/songwriter Jessie Murph brings mad energy and attitude to her short but sweet and potent single, “I’m Not There For You.”

“I was heart-broke / I had my own hand ‘round my own throat / And you like that, didn’t you?” Oh, my, Jessie Murph! The southern pop singer/songwriter has a knack for brutal honesty, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! “I’m Not There For You” is no exception.  She penned the brief but potent single with producers Cirkut and Omer Fedi.

Before sharing her heartbrokenness in the first verse, Murph sets the tone with the centerpiece, the chorus:

“I’m not there for you, I don’t know your name

I ain’t there for you, I don’t feel a thing

Nothing left for you, yeah, I mean it, you fucked up…”

For Jessie, this guy was a monster, something she continues to voice in the first and second verses. In the second verse, she flexes her strength, not settling for his bullshit.  “I am much stronger than I ever was, I just left your bitch ass / And yeah, I fucking did it.” Word.  Murph brings mad attitude and energy to her distinct, cutting vocals.  The musical backdrop is a selling point as well, intact with that signature Omer Fedi guitar.  Although it is short, Jessie Murph makes her point loud and damn clear on “I’m Not There For You”. A vibe? You bet!
