More about Jesse & Joy
Biography
Their second album, Electricidad (2009), solidified their style: direct lyrics and arrangements that balance energy and tenderness. Tracks like Adiós and Chocolate played on every radio station, but it was with ¿Con quién se queda el perro? (2011) where they took a more intimate turn. Recorded in London with producer Martin Terefe —who had worked with artists like Adele and Radiohead— the album emerged from sessions where they blended folk, pop, and even electronic touches. Songs like ¡Corre! and Me voy became anthems, and the album amassed six Latin Grammy nominations, winning three, including Song of the Year for ¡Corre!.
In 2015, with Un besito más, they explored new territories. Recorded between Mexico, London, and the United States, the album included collaborations with Fraser T Smith and tackled social themes, such as the title track that reflects the pain of losing their father and the reality of migrants. The album reached the top spot in Latin sales and took them on tour across Latin America, Spain, and the United States. Later, they released English versions like Echoes of Love, which even caught the attention of BBC Radio 2 in the UK, where they highlighted their fusion of Latin roots with an epic sound. For Jesse, that leap into English felt natural: he grew up between two cultures and, as he puts it, 'together we are stronger.'
