Jessica Pratt Shows What ‘Life Is’ With Television Debut On ‘Colbert’

Esteemed singer-songwriter Jessica Pratt made her television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday. Pratt performed “Life Is” from her new album, Here in the Pitch.

The excellent Here in the Pitch arrived on May 3 via Mexican Summer. The Los Angeles Times described the record as “an anachronistic, dreamlike blend of folk music and chamber pop.”

The L.A.-based singer-songwriter characterized the record as “the dark side of the Californian dream.”

“I spend a lot of time worrying and imagining bad things happening. So maybe the idea of creatively inhabiting a character who wields power is interesting,” Pratt added.

Jessica’s performance of Here in the Pitch lead single “Life Is” brings the haunting yet empowering aesthetic of the album to the screen. It’s a stunning performance that sounds fantastic. Watch below:
