There’s no place Jess Glynne would rather be

Jess Glynne is revelling in her role as one of the most exciting new voices in pop, writes Ed Power.

JESS GLYNNE’S rise to stardom began to look preordained early last year when she lent her powerhouse vocals to the Clean Bandit smash ‘Rather Be’. Since then the Londoner — from the same part of the British capital as Amy Winehouse — has burnished her reputation as the most exciting up-and-comer in British pop, with a flurry of solo hits and and a chart-topping LP, I Cry When I Laugh. She’s a young woman in a hurry.
