Jessie J Who you Are
Wednesday, April 13, 2011
I just got the chance to get my hands on the new Jessie J cd, Who you are, and might I say, damn?Not only is the cover art pretty awesome, her album art is pretty rad too. She's kind of a mix between a dominatrix and Emily Deschannel. A hot nerdy dominatrix? Whatever the deal, I'm totally in love with the art... now onto what really matters... the music.
Everyone has heard her single "Price Tag feat. B.O.B" by now, and I gotta say, it's an anthem to live by if you ask me. I loved the single which in the end made me purchase the cd. This is only my second review and yes, I have bought tons of cd's between this one and drakes last one, but I just haven't had the drive to write, I suppose this could bring us towards a good end, or a not so good end.
I listened to the rest of the cd and thought it was quite rad. Her do it like a dude was kick ass, and L.O.V.E, intense, but the Big White Room song has to be the one that brought it all together. Apparently she wrote it when she was 11 years old, during a hospital spell, wherein the boy she shared her room with inevitably passed. It's a sad song, with some sad wording, but it really is a lovely tune.
All in all, I don't regret this purchase, it really is surprising I've jumped on the Brit bandwagon, but I am loving Jessie J and Adele these days. I hope she becomes a little more recognized. I heard about her through Perezhilton.com many moons ago when he posted her "do it like a dude" song. I thought it was ridiculous and loved it immediately. I didn't realise until I listened to the entire cd today that it was in fact Jessie J that sang that song, so it didn't surprise me when I totally fell for Price Tag and L.O.V.E.
But, seriously my one reader, check out this disc. She's pretty fab.
