Tessa Rose Jackson

One wintry Amsterdam afternoon in early 2024, a light guided Tessa Rose Jackson home. In the midst of an unproductive few months which this visionary Dutch-British singer, songwriter, artist and composer set aside to write her 5th album, a song struck her from nowhere. “The Lighthouse” was a beacon illuminating her way towards a place of intimacy, exposure and reassurance; of embracing her fears, her identity and her deepest, most morbid fascinations.

“I could see the album before it was made,” she says of the record she’d also name The Lighthouse. “I knew the world I wanted it to live in, a slightly more out of time world, a little bit of ghostly folklore. Talking about mortality means talking about life and how we live it, and how we use it and appreciate it.”
