| Montreal, QC – September 19, 2025 – Multidisciplinary artist and singer-songwriter Jessie James returns with her heartfelt new single, “So Long and Goodbye,” out today on all streaming platforms. The release comes just in time for her highly anticipated performance at Festirock this weekend.Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Vincent Côté with artwork by Guillaume Marien, “So Long and Goodbye” is the follow-up to Jessie’s debut single “Rise and Shine,” released last December. Blending tender melodies with her signature ukulele-driven style, the song showcases Jessie’s ability to weave sincerity and emotion into every note.”So Long and Goodbye” is a raw, acoustic anthem about letting go of fake love and reclaiming your worth. With honest lyrics and a stripped-down ukulele vibe, the song tells the story of someone who’s finally done waiting, done doubting, and ready to move on. Simple, sincere, and straight from the heart—this track is for anyone who’s had enough and found the courage to say goodbye.”- Jessie JamesOriginally from Montreal, Jessie James is a self-taught, multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges visual and musical worlds.
