I think they seemed really sweet in that E! special. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if they broke up (with how fast stars move on), but they looked good together.

I really hope she's written herself a catchy song just like "The Way"!

first single in August? video of interview at the link. thatgrapejuice.net/2013/07/exclusiv...y-jason-derulo/ Sunday, July 7th 2013 Exclusive: Jordin Sparks Talks New Album & Writing Ariana Grande’s ‘The Way’ About Jason Derulo Jordin Sparks is back; and this go round the American Idol alum has her hands in many a pot. The 23-year-old is currently riding high on the charts thanks to ‘The Way’ – the Ariana Grande smash she actually wrote for herself. We caught up with Sparks at the BET Awards 2013 where she waxed honest about initially penning ‘The Way’ (she says song is about her relationship with Jason Derulo), her upcoming album (material from which she reveals is is due next month), and her acting endeavors. Hit ‘PLAY’ for all the tea! also. kempiredaily.com/jordin-sparks-new-...llow-soon-afterJordin Spark’s New Single To Arrive Next Month, Third Studio Album To Follow Soon After 0 Comments 07 Jul 2013 Posted by Steven Jordin Sparks has confirmed plans to release new music next month, followed soon after by the release of her third studio album. Chatting to That Grape Juice on the red carpet of the 2013 BET Awards last week the “No Air” singer revealed that the first single from the new album will hopefully premiere during the “first week in August” and will encompass themes of love and happiness. “OK, ready. Are you ready for this? New music is coming, I’m hoping the first week in August and then the album shortly after that,” she revealed. “It’s amazing stuff, you guys are really going to love it. It’s different, it’s definitely where I am in my life. I’m in love as you guys saw, with Jason [Derulo], and I feel really good in my skin so I’m just happy.” Jordin’s most recent album “Battlefield”, was released back in 2009 and spawned the top ten US single of the same name. The album nabbed Jordin the highest charting album of her career in the United States and earned the singer a No. 1 song on Billboard’s Dance charts with “S.O.S. (Let the Music Play)”. Check out Jordin’s interview with That Grape Juice below, where she also talks about penning Ariana Grande’s new single “The Way (feat. Mac Miller)”.

I have a feeling if she has good enough material she can come back in a huge way. Is she still on a major label?

When I read about the new song possibly being a duet with Derulo, I was just thinking it would be nice if she did a new version of "No Air" with Derulo (partly because it would be sweet, and partly so you don't have to think of Chris Brown when you hear it...).

I LOVE the song. They should have added 2Chainz or Big Sean or even Weezy to it though. This song has the potential to be big though. It's called Skipping A Beat.

I'm obsessed with the song: it's light and feathery, sweet and cute. It's like bubblegum r&b, I hear a mix of Trey's Invented Sex and Mariah's Candy Bling. Harmony Samuels has really been doing his thing this year on the r&b tip! Btw, I heard that this was just a promo single. Either way, the other two "official" singles were made by Samuels and his team, so I'm assuming the r&b feel will be her direction. Only complaint about this record, is that some of the vocals don't sound properly mixed/ unfinished. The lyrics are immature, but the song feels like a high school crush vibe so they're cool. Bottom line, I'm actually anticipating her album now.

I like it, but it sounds like early-to mid-00s Rhythmic pop (with some 90s elements). I definitely hear the similarities to Mariah's "Candy Bling". I don't see CHR/Pop going for this.

I really like it, but it's more of a grower. I'm glad it turns out this isn't the lead single, because while I like it, I wouldn't have expected it to do much on the radio.

"Skipping a Beat" is on iTunes now! For those of you who complained about the production, it is significantly different in the final HQ version! The version on soundcloud must have just been the demo. I always liked the song but the soundcloud version sounded unfinished to me. It is much more polished and full now! Definitely one of my favorite songs of Jordin's to date.

The Suprising Way Jordin Sparks’s Grandma Influenced Her New PerfumeMost celebs who create fragrances are most focused on what notes go in the perfume, but when it came time for Jordin Sparks to concoct her newest scent, Ambition, she was more focused on what to leave out. Specifically, anything that would make her grandmother sneeze or break out in hives! “My nana is allergic to everything!” Sparks tells PEOPLE. “So for me, one of my big things was that I wanted my nana to smell it and not have an allergic reaction.” Ambition is Sparks’s third fragrance and it features notes of white tea, orange, lemon zest, mint, raspberry, vanilla and musk. So, did it pass the nana test? “So far, so good!” Sparks says. While Sparks kept her grandmother in mind when creating the perfume, it was her mother who inspired the singer to get into the beauty business. “My mom used to have this pretty display with tons of perfume bottles and I’d always look at them. So I knew from a young age that I wanted to make my own fragrance one day.” And while Sparks knows that a little goes a long way with her perfume (she does a few spritzes on the front and back of her neck before heading out the door), she jokes that her boyfriend, singer Jason Derulo, takes a more extreme approach. “Jason sprays like 30 sprays of his cologne. And I’m always like, ‘Babe you really do not need cloud of cologne!’” But she’s quick to add, “He smells good though, so I shouldn’t complain.” Ambition is available exclusive at Bon-Ton department stores for $35.

Jordin Sparks Engaged to Jason Derulo? Singer Plays Coy About a Huge RingBy Andrew Hampp | August 26, 2013 4:15 PM EDT On the eve of the release of boyfriend Jason Derulo's new single "Marry Me," Jordin Sparks was spotted covering up a giant, sparkling diamond on her left hand -- you know, the engagement finger. "No I don't, I don't have anything on my hand," Sparks said coyly on the red carpet alongside Derulo, sticking her tongue out as Derulo thanked his fans for making his single "The Other Side" his latest top 5 hit. "Marry Me," released Monday on YouTube and iTunes, is the second single from "Tattoos," a collection of songs that will be released as an album in the UK but now an EP in the United States on Sept. 24. Explaining the last-minute shift in strategy, Derulo said, "I know the fans they wanted something here and I wanted to give the fans at least something other than just the single. So I'm doing the EP and then the album will come out shortly after that." Sparks, meanwhile, is prepping her own return to music. Earlier this month, she posted new song "Skipped A Beat" to her SoundCloud page, the expected lead single to her much-anticipated follow-up to 2009's "Battlefield." Sparks confirmed that RCA was still her label partner and that was waiting for them to "figure out the budget stuff" for a music video "so I can get this done, and hopefully that will come out as well." For a better idea of Sparks' musical direction, look no further than Ariana Grande's "The Way," which Sparks co-wrote and was spotted singing along with as Grande performed it during the VMA pre-show. "I wrote this about you," Sparks said to Derulo. "I was just going off what I was feeling. I was super inspired by him and it just all kind of came tumbling out and her team heard it and she absolutely played it. And it's been playing everywhere, so thank you Ariana! And it's been crazy, too, it went top 10 which I wasn't expecting, so I'm really excited. I'm a songwriter now!"
