NYS MUSIC REVIEW

Hearing Aide: Jess Yaffa Thoughts That Keep Me Up At Night

"Ultimately, Thoughts That Keep Me Up At Night is a standout release, especially for fans of emotionally charged pop-rock. Yaffa’s dedication shines through, as she not only writes the songs but also directs her own music videos, showcasing her artistic vision. With this debut, Jess Yaffa proves she is not just another newcomer, but an artist with something to say."

THE BIG TAKEOVER

Jess Yaffa - Thoughts That Keep Me Up at Night (self-released) | The Big Takeover

"Sounding as if she has been doing this much longer than her 23 years on this planet would suggest Thoughts That Keep Me Up at Midnight is the sound of an artist wise, sonically, artistically, and creatively, beyond her years. Well, beyond. New York’s Jess Yaffa has delivered a near-perfect debut album that blends infectious pop hooks with astute, singer-songwriter vibes and indie authenticity with just enough rock and roll weight to power things along. The result is an album that covers all bases and wanders the musical landscape at will."

DANCING ABOUT ARCHITECTURE

Thoughts That Keep Me Up at Night - Jess Yaffa (reviewed by Dave Franklin) - Dancing About Architecture

“Lead singles have an essential job, especially when teasing the audience and testing the sonic waters ahead of a debut album. But if recent singles, “In The Key of Chaos” and “Just For One Night,” seem to speak of the sonic scope of Jess Yaffa‘s first full-length album, I am here to tell you that is only a fraction of the story. If the former is a composed and poised pop number, the latter pushing into groovesome yet accessible rock realms, these are just snapshots of the whole affair- Dancing About Architecture

I’m Music Magazine

Album Review ~ Jess Yaffa ~ 'Thoughts That Keep Me Up At Night' - IMM

“For fans of pop-rock with a rebellious edge, this debut is a must-listen. Yaffa isn’t just stepping onto the scene; she’s staking her claim as a bold new voice in the genre.  Thoughts That Keep Me Up at Night is not just about sleepless nights—it’s about the thoughts, emotions, and moments that define us all”

I’m Music Magazine - Album Review ~ Jess Yaffa ~ 'Thoughts That Keep Me Up At Night' - IMM

“Yaffa proves she’s not only a promising talent but a force to be reckoned with, crafting a collection of songs that seamlessly blend raw emotion, rebellious spirit, and infectious melodies…  Thoughts That Keep Me Up at Night not just an album, but a declaration of artistic independence”

“music balances perfectly between vulnerability and rebellion, resulting in a debut that is more than just a collection of songs. Yaffa has a gorgeous, sometimes rebellious, sometimes lovely voice that isn't afraid to dig deep and be honest in the pop-rock scene” -- MaxaZine

Album Review: Jess Yaffa - Just For One Night – New Noise Magazine

"bleeds emotional, heartfelt lyrics"

Real Gone Rocks

THE REAL GONE SINGLES BAR #95 | Real Gone

“It’s a track that’s been plugged as a “soul stirring ballad”, but ‘In The Key of Chaos’ by Jess Yaffa isn’t really a ballad in the truest, old school sense. It has a thoughtful quality and a confessional lyric that make it feel less throwaway than a lot of contemporary pop, but it’s very much a pop tune at heart. The mechanised beats sit brilliantly beneath a natural vocal, setting a musical contrast in place that really works, and the steady rhythm that powers the number – almost unchanging from the opening bars – brings an energy that feels very natural. There’s a very different feel here compared with Yaffa’s earlier ‘Just For One Night’ (a track powered by new wave-ish, Cars-like guitar work), but her voice remains very familiar. And that, in itself, is a welcome reminder that no matter what direction her (very) studio dictated sound takes, it’s the vocalist who’s the big draw, and her performance here is great. For those not into a narrative, it should also work on the more basic level of reminding the listener of how effortlessly well-crafted pop can make an impact”
