Dutch-British singer, songwriter, and composer Tessa Rose Jackson shares her new single, ‘Fear Bangs the Drum’, the latest glimpse into her third studio album, The Lighthouse, due January 2026.
‘Fear Bangs the Drum’ is an atmospheric track that explores acknowledging fear and letting it resonate rather than suppressing it.
“I am quite a fearful person myself – I worry about something happening to my loved ones, about the state of the world. Fear can be paralyzing. Recently, instead of trying to push it down, I’ve been allowing myself to let it bubble to the surface and just let it be for a bit, not acting on it but also not fighting it. And then… breathe out. And let it go.

It’s funny that this song is one of the most celebratory songs on the record. The bridge is possibly my favourite bit of the whole album – this joyful expelling of all worry: everything passes. As will I. As will this. Be here now.”
Following the release of The Lighthouse, Tessa Rose Jackson will be on tour, kicking off in Brighton on 11 March. Full dates and information can be found on her website.
