Loaded with a yearning beauty, Jessica Says’ return drips with an urgent melancholy, almost devoid of metaphor in its detail of the titular drug. There’s double entendre in the lush chorus, backed by a dreamy backing choir, “I’m a Xanax baby / But I wanna get off”. There’s a realness to the melodrama.
