"Jesso continued his work as a writer and producer, collaborating with Adele (on ), Florence and the Machine, Haim, FKA twigs, Orville Peck, Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, Bon Iver, Justin Bieber, Dijon, Rosalía, and many others. He also won the Grammy Award for Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical, in its first year of existence, and he'll look to win it again in 2026."
"Now, just as unassumingly as he arrived, Jesso has announced his second studio album. The new album is called Shine (stylized as: s h i n e), and it is out on November 21 via R&R. Jesso, who is now 40 years old, produced Shine, and the album was mixed by Shawn Everett. Leading the eight-track effort is " I Love You," which comes with a music video directed by Christopher Ripley and starring Dakota Johnson and Riley Keough."
"According to a press release, Shine is about Jesso, as well as "his mom, his son, a breakup, and his life at this moment in time, with some help from Danielle Haim, Eli Teplin, Julian Bunetta, Justin Vernon, Rosie Hamilton, Tommy King, and a psychic." He wrote the album during a six-week sabbatical and recorded it live on the piano, alone at his house."
Tobias Jesso Jr. built a songwriting career after a celebrated debut, then paused his solo releases to write and produce for high-profile artists. He co-wrote Sia's "Alive" and multiple songs for Adele, and collaborated with many others while winning the inaugural Grammy for Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical. He produced and announced his second studio album, Shine, scheduled for November 21 via R&R and mixed by Shawn Everett. The eight-track record was written during a six-week sabbatical and recorded live on piano at his home. The lead single "I Love You" features a video starring Dakota Johnson and Riley Keough.
