In the musical melting pot of the small-town Alabama singer, the old cliché—“I like everything but rap and country”—is akin to blasphemy. Jessie Murph was raised on country, then fell in love with hip-hop, plus a side of nostalgic pop as sung by doomy femme fatales (Amy Winehouse, Lana Del Rey). Since blowing up on social media for her gravelly-voiced covers and releasing her debut single, “Upgrade,” in 2021, her twangy, swaggering pop songs have had the range to encompass all those influences: “Wild Ones,” her 2023 duet with Jelly Roll, slides seamlessly between trap and country, while subsequent hits like “Blue Strips” and “Touch Me Like a Gangster” modernize old-school R&B and doo-wop with trap beats and biting wit.
