Jessica Heine - Build Again (2024) Hi Res

"Clever wordplay and charming delivery" - Edmonton Journal

Singer-songwriter Jessica Heine takes stock of where she is within today's chaotic world on her fourth album "Build Again". It builds, again, on the strong support she received for her breakthrough third album, "Goodbye Party", which saw radio play from New York City to the mountain town of Kamloops.

Working a second time with producer Peter Stone (100 mile house, Rosina Cove), Jessica Heine fills out her classically-trained, choral-strong vocals with a musical support of a who's who of Alberta, Canada, based players. There's swooning cello from Andrea Case, picked guitar by Peter Stone, tender piano from Brennan Cameron (Celeigh Cardinal), tasteful electric guitar from Chris Tabbert, Keith Rempel's exemplary bass, Matt Grier on drums and Scott Zubot on atmospheric violin.

"A word juggler and a poet" - Indie Music Centre

Build Again is filled with songs of strength and restoration. The fragility revealed on Heine's last album, 2019's Goodbye Party, which accepted loss, of all kinds, is gone. Instead, Heine is self-assured, confident in her relationships, her friendships and her community, and that shines through in these ten new odes to personal growth.

Still raw and open, Jessica Heine masterfully enriches her community through song, love and the wordplay that has allowed her reputation to bloom.
