Jessie J: Sweet Talker

[Live Your Life]

Jessie J's third album (second for the US) is due out later this year. She's been performing 4 new songs at her festival gigs recently. They already sound much better than the material on "Alive," IMO.

"Keep Us Together" (I think this one might be the first single. She posted a clip on her Instagram page in January)



"Sweet Talker"



"Ain't Been Done"



"You Don't Really Know Me"

"Keep Us Together" is cute. Not sure if it's instant enough for a lead though.

[Live Your Life]

Makes sense, since they're all on Republic. Plus, Jeff is always reliable. We'll see.

[Hurricane Lee]

She is sooo much better when she isn't impersonating Daffy Duck. Wow. I really like Keep Us Together.

A tagged version of "Keep Us Together" leaked. You can listen to it here.

I love it. Finally she's getting material worthy of her voice.

Excited for her album :)

Jessie J is back on top and bigger than ever thanks to a little song called “Bang Bang.” Before the British singer-songwriter hooked up with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj for her out-of-the-blue summer 2014 smash, she was known stateside for previous hits like “Price Tag” and the magnificent slice of pop “Domino.” But for her upcoming third album, Jessie’s been working with a pedigree of musicians and songwriters that could just ensure she’ll graduate from the status of “oh, right — her” to “Oh…HER!”

“I was lucky enough to work with Tricky and The-Dream, Diplo, 2 Chainz, Max Martin, Ammo,” Jessie tells Idolator. In fact, Max “Midas Touch” Martin, who co-produced “Bang Bang,” co-wrote the infectious upcoming track from J’s new album called “Burning Up,” which features a crazy rap from 2 Chainz that the singer couldn’t help spitting out for us during the above interview. (No, really — Jessie J imitating 2 Chainz…you gotta watch it.)

Jessie admits to us that the only time she’d previously met Nicki Minaj was during a performance of “Domino” on American Idol two seasons back. “I’m hoping we can hang out, because the only time we’ve hung out since is the ['Bang Bang] video, which we shot in L.A.” she tells us. “So I’m hoping, fingers crossed, we can just, like, chill and have a hot chocolate or something normal soon.”

As for her long absence from the States after her debut album arrived, Jessie cites a foot injury she sustained three years ago. “It’s the main reason why I couldn’t come back here, because I couldn’t fly,” she explains. “I had to have a bone transplant, so the bones had to hang out and make friends and cuddle… I need to have more surgery but I’ll probably have it at the end of the year.”

Didn't know she actually had to have a bone transplant.

[Hurricane Lee]

Officially into her.

[Live Your Life]

She confirmed to BBC Radio 1 that "Burning Up" featuring 2 Chainz is the second single from the album.

So none of the songs off of Alive are making it into the US.

She revealed the artwork for "Sweet Talker" (release date: October 13th)

[SHOOTER]

Hope the music is as hot as the cover.

[Deleted]

Woah. I like the cover but I keep expecting her to look up with glowing green eyes and vampire teeth.

[Gray.]

"Bang Bang" is great but I'm not holding my breath for the album after Alive was such a mess, even with "Wild" being such a solid single.

[musiclover98]

All I know is that her voice is amazing. I hope the material lives up to the hype.

I was shocked at the De La Soul featuring as well; they're one of the best Hip Hop groups ever!! Hat's off to Jessie for that.

*please God don't let this album suck*

[Fancy]

really interested in hearing that stirling track :)

[Sir Benji]

I love "Strip"! I'm glad it ended up making it onto the album after-all.

Jessie J reveals she's quitting Britain because she's fed up with gossip about her sex life... and she's heading to America 'where they take me seriously as a singer'

I hope Republic isn't pumping her head up. She's got a long way to go if she wants to be in America's good graces.

British pop diva Jessie J headed to a studio in LA after the VMAs to record a song from upcoming Broadway musical “Finding Neverland,” Page Six has learned.

The track, “Stronger,” will be part of a planned star-studded “concept album” based on the score by Gary Barlow.

The musical about “Peter Pan” author J.M. Barrie has broken records at Boston’s American Repertory Theater before a move to Broadway.

Producer Harvey Weinstein has dedicated “Stronger” to the people of Boston

"What do I think of her? I don't think of her."

One of my favorite Whitney quotes and how the US feels about Jessie J.

[Deleted]

How can we take her seriously if we don't even know who she is?

'Wild' still bangs though.

[fire]

She runs the risk of losing her 'home base' à la natasha bedingfield or cher lloyd. these artists too thought they'd made it when in fact they were struggling back home with album #2. and jessie's 2nd album was a flop in europe - she should rebuild a comfortable fanbase there and then focus on the US. Of course, I wouldn't mind if she managed to do both at the same time.
