Jesca Hoop 'Born To' video

Jesca Hoop is set to release of Born To, the first single from her new album The House That Jack Built, on June 11th.

Reflecting the album's central themes - life and death, sex and war, head and heart - Born To asks the question – "how is it that I was born into the circumstances I was born into. How is it some of us are born into famine and others into unimaginable wealth?". The lead track from The House That Jack Built and very much a statement of intent, Born To is a tempestuous, moodily melodic opener.

With Born To playisted at 6music and having just returned from a US tour with the Punch Brothers Jesca has lined up a number of UK dates in support of her new album, including a headlining show at London's Bush Hall. Tickets are on sale now:
