Music and Books
Jessica Cotten’s new music, poetry, and books.
“Family of fire, sojourners of skies, companions to darkness, once absent, now alive.”
— From Sea Between
Edge of the Wilderness
Available now on all music platforms.
You could say indie electro-pop artist Jessica Cotten was provoked into making her debut EP, Edge of the Wilderness. Fed up with the hypocrisy of the times, unjust systems, and manipulative religious environments, Jessica launched a bold and ultra-catchy, political and cultural missive. In addition to its fiery purposefulness, the six-song EP is a declaration of hard-fought artistic autonomy.
Indie electronica, electronic rock, electropop.
My Heroes
My new single, released June 3, 2022. “My Heroes” is sweet 80’s beats + a raw take on breaking away from harmful environments. It’s an ode to freedom and to the people who quietly make the world a better place.
Indie electronica rock with synth pop and synthwave vintage 80s vibes.
Available on all digital music platforms.
City on Fire
Released July 9, 2021. I wrote “City on Fire” off and on from 2016-2020. If at any point during those years you felt disillusioned, angry, afraid, utterly confused, or disappointed – or if you currently feel any of these things – I think you might like this song.
Indie electronica rock.
Available on all digital music platforms.
Sea Between: A Collection
Debuted as #1 New Release on Amazon in Poetry About Nature Category in the first week of June, 2019 // We tend to let life happen. Days pass and we lose sight of ourselves with such ease. We work, we sleep, we dream, we give up, we win, we lose, we trudge through our real-life events like we’re scrolling through a social media feed. We numb ourselves with busyness. But what about the intricacies of life? What about how the events of each day actually affect us?
Poetry helps us to embrace life, instead of skimming through it. Poetry helps us to feel, reminding us that we have a heart. If we let it, poetry will help us hurt…and help us heal. It tells us stories about ourselves and about our world. Poetry pulls us out of the rat race and reminds us who we are. It shatters the mask that society asks us to wear and provides us with sacred moments of authenticity and contemplation. The world needs more poetry.
A rescue for those who tire of busyness, division, and deception, Sea Between: A Collection offers a pause for reflection and a chance to pursue the deeper meanings of life. Jessica invites us to re-discover calm, thoughtfulness, creativity, and love.
