Jess Knights Jess Knights Calgary Calgary vocalist Jess Knights has dabbled in the renegade worlds of alt-country, blues and R&B, but on her debut full-length effort, Best Kind of Light, due out on June 20, 2020 (postponed due to Covid-19), it’s all about classic soul. Recorded in Toronto with award-winning producer Joshua Van Tassel and the crème de la crème of songsmiths and sidemen, including Donovan Woods, Joey Landreth and others, the album brings into focus the moody, dimly-lit spectrum of Knights’ classically-trained voice, which has drawn comparisons to U.K. luminaries Amy Winehouse and Eliza Doolittle. Upon the release of her debut EP Won’t Wait in 2018, she landed on several year-end lists with the Calgary Herald and TheYYScene naming her one to watch. The EP received significant play on SiriusXM, enjoyed spins on CBC Radio, and charted on college stations throughout Canada.
