Jessie Baylin’s highly anticipated major label debut, ‘Firesight’, will be released June 24, 2008 on Verve Forecast.

The Boston Globe calls the Nashville-based songstress, “impressive…powerful…engaging…” while Nylon magazine describes her as “…a vision to behold…she channels the unbridled energy of a boiling tea-kettle.”

Recorded at Hap Town Studio in Nashville, the 12 tracks on ‘Firesight’ build and expand on material featured in Jessie Baylin’s first full-length album, ‘You’.

The new album also continues Baylin’s collaborative efforts with Grammy-winning songwriter Jesse Harris (Norah Jones) and features co-writing contributions from Mike Daly (Whiskeytown), Mark Goldenberg, Greg Wells and Danny Wilde (Rembrandts). The album was produced and engineered by Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Rogue Wave) and includes guest appearances by fellow Hotel Cafe alumni Cary Brothers and Brett Dennen, drummer Brad Pemberton (Ryan Adams), guitarist Joe Pisapia (Guster), and brothers Ned and David Henry (Josh Rouse, Cowboy Junkies), among many others.

Her first single is “Was I On Your Mind”. Look for Jessie’s music in upcoming movies, tv shows (tba).

And in April she joined British musician Newton Faulkner on tour followed by a series of May shows supporting acclaimed singer-songwriter Teitur. Baylin will also be performing at this years Bonnaroo Music Festival on June 14th, 2008 in support of her new album, ‘Firesight’.
