[[**Jessie Wagner** has released a new single– a cover of the early 1960’s classic“
Cry To Me” by soul singer Solomon Burke. The track serves to tide fans over until
the release of her sophomore solo LP on Wicked Cool Records in late 2023/early 2024.

Of her upbeat, doo-wop-flavored take on the beloved song, Wagner says _“Ever since
I saw Patrick Swayze gently sway Jennifer Grey in his beautifully sculpted arms 
to Solomon Burke’s “Cry To Me,” I was immediately obsessed with this sensual song.
It continues to be one of my favorites, and I am ecstatic to release my take on 
this sexy classic.”_

**About Jessie Wagner:** 
It’s been a long journey to center stage for Jessie Wagner.
Having gained her greatest exposure to date by singing songs everyone knows the 
words to, on some of the world’s biggest stages, it’s only now, through sharing 
her own triumphs and pain, that the spotlight is shining directly on her at last.

After logging thousands of miles as an in-demand vocalist on tour with **Lenny Kravitz,
Chic, Duran Duran, Kid Rock** and most recently **Little Steven and The Disciples
Of Soul**, Jessie Wagner revealed a very personal collection of songs with ‘Shoes
Droppin’ her 2020 debut solo album for Wicked Cool Records.

Displaying an impressive range encompassing bluesy R&B, neo-soul, acoustic balladry
and rock a la John Mayer’s more confessional side, Shoes maintained a unified sound
rooted in ’60s and ’70s style production. The songs traced times of darkness and
redemption for the Norfolk, Virginia native, now based in New York City, who also
fronts the rock/soul band **Army of the Underdog**.

Recorded during downtime from the Little Steven world tour, ‘Shoes Droppin” was 
produced by drummer **Dave Diamond (Bob Weir, Derek Trucks)** with engineer **Chris
Laybourne,** and featured co-writes with seasoned soul guitarist **Sherrod Barnes**(**
Beyoncé, Angie Stone**, **Ashanti**, **Whitney Houston, Roberta Flack** and **Queen
Latifah**).

Wagner will release her sophomore solo effort in late 2023/early 2024.
