Thank God It Didn't Work

Jessica Meuse

Jessica Meuse is an American performer from Slapout, Alabama. She has wowed audiences since the age of 10 and plays several instruments (guitar, piano, and classical violin). At 20, Jessica won the statewide artist showcase, Stars of Alabama. A spot on Season 3 of NBC’s The Voice followed, where she made it to the blind auditions and was on Vans Warped Tour. Jessica was then selected by American Idol’s judges, Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez, and Harry Connick, Jr., for Season 13 of the TV series where she rose to be a Top 4 National Finalist. Jessica also became the first person in the history of Idol to perform her own original song during the finals and joined Idols LIVE Tour, performing in 40+ cities across the USA and Canada. Currently, Jessica is signed to LA Group Management and "Halfhearted" marks her first full-length album release on Warrior Records. Her single, "Thank God It Didn't Work," is easily relatable to folks everywhere who have been faced with challenges in their life and then looked back later grateful that they didn’t work out,” said Meuse. “Initially, I auditioned for The Voice, but not one of the judges turned around. I was crushed. But, had I known that less than a year later I’d make Top 4 on American Idol, I wouldn’t have worried so much about it." Shortly after its release, Meuse’s “Halfhearted” hit Top 11 on iTunes Country Albums and its songs have amassed over 2 million streams. Her songs have also appeared in Apple Music Country Hot Tracks and "Thank God It Didn't Work" has been added to numerous Spotify and Apple Music playlists. Jessica's ongoing schedule has her traveling around the country with ongoing festival tour dates and radio/tv appearances. On a personal note, Jessica is a fitness buff and brand ambassador for various products, dedicates time to raising awareness about Domestic Violence, Cyberbullying, St. Jude, and Children's Cancer Association, while continuing to record and tour.
