The musical maverick Jhelisa originally released her debut in 1994 on Dorado. It was quickly hailed as a masterpiece by the media and ‘Galactica Rush’ became one of the greatest neo soul, jazz funk and trip hop albums of all time and a seminal essential for the record collector. With carte blanche to unapologetically make the album her way, Jhelisa wrote and co-produced ‘Galactica Rush’ herself, which was a rarity at the time. ‘Galactica Rush’ was incredibly influential on a number of artists that came after Jhelisa, both in the UK, US and around the world.
The album features standout songs like title track ‘Galactica Rush’ a free jazz opus featuring the virtuosic sax of Greg Osby, ‘Whirl Keeps Turning’, ‘Hold My Peace’, ‘Sweet Dreams’ and ‘Death Of A Soul Diva’ which was covered by friend and collaborator Chaka Khan, and the unforgettable, timeless ‘Friendly Pressure’, which generated multiple remixes, bootlegs and millions of streams, with a huge boost earlier this year when the Sunship ‘Into The Sunshine’ remix went viral on TikTok achieving over 1billion views, nearly 500k creations, a TikTok dance trend and over 500k streams daily, the track is currently at No.5 in the UK Club Chart.
