Jessie Wagner has been the “Voice-In-Demand” for Lenny Kravitz, Chic and Duran Duran, but when she stepped out solo from her vocal perch in Little Steven & The Disciples Of Soul, it resulted in her 2020 Shoe’s Droppin’ debut on Van Zandt’s Wicked Cool label. She followed that up with her exquisite rendition of Soloman Burke’s 1962 “Cry To Me” in May of ’23. Now comes news that her long-anticipated follow-up album—originally slated for last year—will land April 25.

Jessie Wagner asks that musical question, “Are You Scared” in her new single featuring Scott Martin. The back-up Disciple of Soul singer has also sung on stages with Lenny Kravitz, Chic and Duran Duran besides fronting her own Army of the Underdog.

Singer Jessie Wagner remembers the moment she first saw the late actor Patrick Swayze in the 1987 ‘Dirty Dancing’ film. “Ever since I saw him gently sway Jennifer Grey in his beautifully sculpted arms to Soloman 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.”
