Jessica Lollato Became a New Icon of Y2K RnB with ‘When It’s Over’ –

In 2026, Jessica Lollato has become a Y2K RnB icon, skewing the sonic timelines through her embodiment of the moody with soul iconic aesthetic and a production that implants contemporary hooks in the hazy, heavy textures of nostalgia. When It’s Over carries the energy of an artist who brings that entire ethos into sharper focus. If you’re sick of hyper-polished tracks from artists who think RnB started with the Weeknd, Lollato’s seminal single is the ultimate antidote to the posturing of assimilation.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and Lollato channels that spark with a vocal that warms as it scathes; hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and there’s no volition like an RnB artist driven past their limit of tolerance to the recording booth where they lay the audacity of entitled lust-fuelled lotharios on the line right next to their heart strings. The mood is thick, sultry, slightly bruised around the edges, and carried by that moody, soul tone she twists into her own signature style.

Raised on the 2000s greats, influenced by the early conversations heard through Brandy, Ashanti and Destiny’s Child, she now shapes that lineage into something more personal. When It’s Over speaks in the rhythm of someone who has lived every emotional push and pull. It forms a private love language that still invites you in, steadying you in the grey zone between closure and salting the sting that lingers long after the moment has gone.

When It’s Over is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.
