Friendly Pressure (Remastered)

Featuring the music of Jhelisa
Duration: 3:50

Celebrating exactly 30 years to the date today since the release of her acclaimed debut album Galactica Rush, Jhelisa has released a newly remastered version of the full record for the momentous anniversary. Hailed as “a potent brew of jazz, funk and soul, with style and substance” by i-D Magazine when it first arrived, the genre-bending album quickly became an acclaimed underground sensation and was cemented as a highly influential work within the London music scene and beyond. Listen to the remastered 2024 version of Galactica Rush now here via Dorado Records.

Jhelisa wrote and co-produced the entire record herself, including title track "Galactica Rush"—an acid jazz opus featuring the saxophone of {{m: Greg Osby = 10028}}, harmonica-heavy R&B track "Death Of A Soul Diva"—which was covered by friend and collaborator Chaka Khan, and "Friendly Pressure"—a timeless tune that’s reached a whole new generation of listeners thanks to a sped-up remix of the song serendipitously going viral on TikTok just in time for this 30th anniversary of the release. The Sunship ‘Into The Sunshine’ remix has been used as the sound for over 400k TikTok videos, garnering 1.5 billion collective views on the app, with over 50 million streams across DSPs in 2024 alone.

The Mississippi-born songstress, who GQ dubbed "Cosmic princess of soul," comes from a family of music legends—including Vicki Anderson and Bobby Byrd from the James Brown band, who were her aunt and uncle. Before beginning her journey as a solo artist in the mid-1990s, she got her start singing in church which eventually led to her becoming the go-to vocalist for Bjork, Massive Attack and The Shamen. But she didn’t feel at home until she began working on Galactica Rush, where she had complete creative control and freedom.

It’s no wonder her debut album instantly became a seminal essential for the record collector. Starting November 1, listeners can add two limited-run Jhelisa vinyls to their collection: Galactica Rush and a 12” of Friendly Pressure remixes.
