Jessica Lea Mayfield (b. August 27, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter, from Kent, Ohio. She is known for writing dark, sad songs, with a plaintive minimalist style that draws on both country and rock music.
Rather than trying to make herself happy, Jessica immersed herself in darkness and, at age 15, recorded her first album White Lies in her brother’s bedroom, printing only 100 copies. One of those copies fell into the hands of Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. After an introduction, Mayfield and Auerbach hit the studio, laying the foundation of her debut album With Blasphemy So Heartfelt.
Jessica’s first LP was the September 16, 2008 release With Blasphemy So Heartfelt. The album was produced by Dan Auerbach and recorded over a two-year span in his home studio in Akron. With Blasphemy So Heartfelt features Mayfield on acoustic guitar and vocals, Auerbach on a variety of instrumentation and Mayfield’s brother David on upright bass. Dr. Dog’s Scott McMicken and Frank McElroy provide vocal harmonies on the track “I’m Not Lonely Anymore.” Says Auerbach of the recording experience, “I think she’s dark and moody in a mysterious way, not unlike Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.” He adds, “I’m just always really excited to make music with her.”
With Blasphemy So Heartfelt debuted with quite a buzz around it. Pitchfork Media gave the record a rating of 8.2 out of 10. Online magazine Blurt named With Blasphemy the Best Album of 2008 and gave Jessica the title of Best New Artist of 2008.

I'm new to listening to her, actually heard about her because of the Avett Brothers' cover of "For Today" on YouTube. I only watched the video maybe twice and I noticed myself humming the melody in my head weeks after last hearing it, completely taken away that I could remember it so well. So I just started listening to her and I'm blown away. There are times when I listen to her and feel that her songs could easily bring me to tears with their beauty, charm, and roughness.

And to think I could have seen her at Bonnaroo! I hate myself a little bit for not knowing a thing about her until after the fact.

Just having seen her live though, the songs seem a bit too tame on the CD.

The songs are beautiful and she has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.
