Jessica Lea Mayfield/Margaux

Jessica Lea Mayfield is a boundary-pushing artist known for blending raw emotion with captivating soundscapes. Her upcoming EP, produced by Sam Acchione, showcases her evolution as a songwriter and performer. The lead single, "Choose Myself," is a bold anthem of self-discovery and empowerment, setting the tone for an era defined by personal growth and artistic reinvention.

Margaux, a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter, blends poetic storytelling with a rich musicality shaped by her diverse influences and background. Born in Seattle to a French father and an American mother, she moved to New York to study jazz and later earned a degree in poetry and non-fiction at the New School. Her debut EP, More Brilliant is the Hand that Throws the Coin (2019), earned critical acclaim, with Pitchfork praising its "uncannily wise and self-assured" songwriting. Margaux’s poetic lyricism and versatility have made her a sought-after collaborator, touring and recording with indie acts like Katy Kirby and Dougie Poole.

Her debut full-length album, Inside the Marble, showcases a deeply introspective yet ambitious approach to songwriting. Exploring themes of heartbreak, growth, and emotional chaos, the album features intricate arrangements, including orchestral flourishes and experimental textures. Margaux and producer Sahil Ansari spent nearly five years crafting the record, drawing on everything from birdsong recorded in rural France to innovative percussive techniques. The result is an intimate yet sweeping work that captures both the fragility and grandeur of human emotion.
