JessB's sophomore EP is ushering in a new era for this Kiwi rapper, as she moves on from stunting and talking herself up and instead graduating - already - to the kind of in-depth storytelling it's taken some rappers decades to make their peace with.
That said, there's still a fair amount of self-hype (as you'd expect from any rapper) and JessB does it with style, particularly on opening track Mood, on which she raps about her worldwide support system of women: "Just some big boss bitches making boss moves."
But unlike on Bloom, which now feels timid by comparison, it's gloves off on New Views as Jess announces: "Mouth no filter, now I stand a little bigger / Got my shoulders back, outfit a little slicker."
To go with her new look and attitude, she's got a slew of new collaborators, having pulled in everyone from rising Kiwi star Paige to one of the UK's biggest up-and-coming dancehall artists, Big Zeeks.
