Some of the songs kinda border on cheesy/corny for me. Superbad, Checkmate and Punch Drunk Recreation are my favorites thus far.

I'm loving this album! It's got such a cool funk to it. I'm seeing the debut show of the tour on Friday! Too bad he's not on a major label for proper radio promotion. This is full of smashes!

I'm on my first listen and to my surprise I'm really enjoying this. It's got a cool fusion of pop, R&B and disco. Love the MJ/Prince influence.

No prediction made for next, which means he'll likely debut with less than 10k.

I just got back from opening night of his tour in Charlotte. About 1500-2000 there. Great show! He still has all his performing skills...singing, dancing, drama, playing different instruments! He sang nearly every song from the new album and the biggest hits from his previous albums. 21 songs total in 90 minutes. I'm surprised that his CD opened with such little sales, everyone there was singing along to the lyrics from his new stuff. Anyway, what a great performance and he looks and sounds better than ever live.

Actually enjoying the album. Might consider buying it. Hope this era turns around for him though, and gets him at the very least some decent exposure.. shame that the album is falling quickly (down to 50 on iTunes)

I was surprised after hearing his CD that I liked it as much as I did. I am thinking about picking it up. It is a nice blend of retro & contemporary R&B/pop.

Jesse McCartney on His Tour Bus Tea Parties and New Retro Sound July 22, 2014 – 5:19 PM By Ashleigh Schmitz @schmitzey Jesse McCartney is making a statement with his new album In Technicolor, which dropped today. The tunes have a distinctly retro feel that he says were influenced by Michael Jackson and Prince. “It kind of has this throwback, late-70’s, early-80’s kind of vibe,” the 27-year-old said. “I just wanted to do something a little bit different and take a departure from everything that I had done in the past and I think this definitely does that.” It’s evident that the former child actor spent some time studying up on the artists he looked up to as a kid. Songs like “Back Together” and “Tie the Knot” evoke that funky pop style with a modern edge. Now that his album is available, McCartney is hitting the road for his North American tour. We caught up with the singer to learn about his hidden talents (“I’m really into [cooking] Italian food right now”), growing up in showbiz, and a possible return to Broadway. What were some of your influences for this album?“I grew up listening to a lot of soul music and a lot of R&B as a kid. I grew up in the 90’s when a lot of my friends were listening to like Nine Inch Nails and Metallica and I was listening to Boyz II Men, Babyface, and Stevie Wonder. That’s just the diet I was raised on in terms of music. It definitely made an impact on me as a musician and as a vocalist. When I sat down with the producers every night, we would listen to some old school albums and just listen to the whole record all the way through, pick out certain sounds that we thought were really cool and that we wanted to sort of pay homage to.” You toured with the Backstreet Boys last summer. What was that experience like?“It was great! It was actually my second time out there with them. I had toured with them in Europe in like 2005, so we kind of had a rapport already. They’re a great group of guys, they’re all pros at this point as well. It’s funny, having toured with them in ’05 versus 2013—in ’05 a lot of them were single bachelors and now they’re all married or have girlfriends and have kids. They’re like young dads on the road versus single bachelors, so it was a totally different tour.” You’re about to go on tour. What’s your favorite thing about those live performances?“I really particularly love touring when you’re releasing new music because you can sort of gauge what the fans like and what they respond to when you’re on stage and you get an instant reaction. It definitely helps with what songs to release and what songs to promote as the next single, and also to know in the future what people gravitate toward. It’s just fun also personally to get up there and play new songs.” You got your start on Broadway in The King and I. Do you ever think about doing another stage show?“Yeah, I think so! Maybe eventually. I’ve been seeing a lot of shows here lately in New York and every time I see a great performance, I do kind of miss it a little bit because those were my roots, I was trained as a stage performer. It’s always fun and it’s always nostalgic going back to the theater to watch the amazing performances. I think maybe eventually, if the right script came along or the right show came along, absolutely.” What role would you most like to play?“I’ve always loved the role of the Artful Dodger in Oliver, I feel like that would be a lot of fun to play. I’m probably a little old for that role now [laughs], but I see 40 year olds playing 20 year olds on stage, so anything goes.” You’ve been acting almost as long as you’ve been singing. What was it like to get your start so young?“It’s kind of all I knew. A lot of families grow up super into sports or really into one thing. Both of my parents were very musically inclined—my mom went to Julliard and to Berkely and to UCLA and my dad was a theater major and they met on Broadway here in New York. I kind of grew up watching them do it and listening to them play music. I was surrounded by it at an early age and they always supported it and encouraged it because they loved it too, so it was great growing up and doing music. But I also had a relatively normal childhood up until about the age of 16 or 17. I grew up playing baseball with a yard and the suburban Westchester, New York life. It wasn’t until I was about a junior in high school that things started to really take a turn to doing this professionally.” You’ve got a lot going on right now, but what do you like to do in your downtime?“I really love to cook, I’m big into cooking. I’ve just recently taken up a hobby with brewing tea and buying all sorts of weird Japanese and Indian and Chinese green teas. I have my whole band on tour right now brewing tea and we’re having, like, tea parties. It’s super rockstar, I know, but we are.” What are some of your favorite recipes?“I make a killer caprese garlic bread, I just started doing that, it’s really good. It’s basically just garlic bread with basil and fresh mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes and I oven roast it. It’s almost like a bruschetta but a little more substantial. I’m really into Italian food right now, so I make an awesome lasagna. I buy fresh noodles, but I want to, when I get home, to start making my own noodles. I have to get a noodle press and everything, but I really want to try making a lasagna from scratch. And I can also grill a mean hot dog.”

I Interviewed Jesse McCartney, My (Literal) Teen Idol Next DoorBy Sarah Grant It was the opening night of a community production of “Crazy for You,” but, in a cozy theater beside the Hudson River, my eighth grade pals and I were not focusing on the play that had brought us there. Instead, we were crazy for the boy with a shock of blond hair who was sitting three rows behind us. To the rest of the world—even to the rest of Westchester County—Jesse McCartney was just a former child star living in the suburbs. His young legacy was, at best, having a hit song on Nickelodeon as part of the aptly named boy band Dream Street. At worst, he was a castoff of a dying industry—someone who, if he had been born five years earlier, might have had a basement lined with platinum records and MTV Moon Men. But to a small circle of nerdy former boy band devotees, Jesse was a blue-eyed totem of a bygone era. We didn’t worship the music. We craved the crush, the craze. Jesse wasn't just the charming, slightly older boy next door character on TV, he was literally the charming, slightly older boy the next town over. There wasn't any prospect of actually pursuing him. There was no discussion of anyone realistically dating him. We liked orbiting his existence together. We collected secondhand information for no larger purpose. He was a boy band crush walking the same earth as us. The sheer possibility of running into him at the bagel store was enough to impassion us. One time, we looked up his number in the phone book, by his dad’s name, and just stared at it. So my perception of Jesse McCartney is unforgivably skewed. But for the record, he did escape his aforementioned legacy and became someone who was, if not exactly a familiar face, at least a bit of a household name. In 2008, he co-wrote Leona Lewis’s pulsating ballad “Bleeding Love” with OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder. He collaborated with rappers Ludacris (“How Do You Sleep”) and T-Pain (“Body Language”) on chart-topping crossover remixes. He’s even about to star in a Lifetime movie about a countrified Amish girl (AJ Michalka) who finds love (Jesse McCartney, obviously) in Los Angeles. He's also putting out a new album, In Technicolor, on his own label, EightOEight. It's packaged like an entrance exam into the Justin Timberlake suit-and-tie school of music. But, in the spirit of discussing yesteryear, McCartney has made the 70s pop throwback record I could have used in eighth grade. It offers a flight of dance tracks ripe for the funky soul: “Superbad,” “Back Together,” and especially “Young Love,” which pairs the crushing backbeat of a song like Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel” with the bombast of, say, Patty Smyth’s “The Warrior.” The new musical direction is as calculated as his previous work, but it’s undeniably catchier. Best of all, for McCartney’s younger fans, the music provides an easy entry point into the collections of artists like Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Prince. Before the interview, I had one last middle school-esque fantasy to confess my big, old crush, to maybe, just for old time’s sake, ask whether he indeed dated a girl on the swim team. Could I tell him that I drove past his house once? Would he hang up on me? I decided to play it cool and ask about Prince. Even after all this time had passed, I still couldn’t bear to be crushed. I love the “Bad Mama Jama” vibe on “Superbad.” But I’ve got to ask: Did you have any reservations about aligning yourself with the likes of James Brown, Wonder, and Michael Jackson? No, because it was just the music I listened to growing up—Michael, Prince. I just listened more closely to the guitar tone, what guitars they used, and researched how the album was actually made. I must have listened to Innervisions 10 million times in my car. I listened to the albums that I knew I wanted to have an impact on this album. What’s your favorite Prince song?“When Doves Cry” is probably my favorite because of its simplicity. That was sort of how “Superbad” came about. To make a song with nothing—very little instrumentation—and have it connect with people to me was the biggest challenge. “Superbad” is one of the least pretty songs on the album, but the melody just cuts through. As a producer, you call it ‘reducing.’ It’s easy to throw a bunch of stuff on a song, but when you can have just a bass guitar, a simple drumbeat, and one guitar on top, that’s a real craft. While you were mining the classics, did you come across anything you hadn’t heard? Actually, I wasn’t familiar with Stevie Ray Vaughan. The producers who worked on the album, a group of Berklee College of Music grads called The Elev3n [who have produced for Cher Lloyd and Sean Kingston], made me listen to [Vaughan’s] guitar playing. “Young Love” was really a hybrid of a Michael Jackson groove and Vaughan’s guitar sound. The songwriting centers on your relationships with women. For the most part, you sing from the perspective of a pretty lonesome guy. How do you write a romantic song? You start with honesty. I’ve experienced some interesting relationships in the last five years, especially. I’m a young guy. I’m 27. I like to have a good time, but I’m definitely at a point now where I understand what a relationship is, what it’s like to be in love and what it’s like to have your heart sort of broken. So when you’re trying to set the mood, what records do you pull out?[Laughs] God, Marvin Gaye, probably? I know that sounds cliché, but he was the king of romance! Anything contemporary? Well, one of my favorite records—he did it before he was even signed, and it is still one of my favorite records to this day—is Robin Thicke’s A Beautiful World. The cover of the album is a picture of his wife, Paula. Talk about honesty—you can hear he’s so in love with that woman. I can hear Marvin’s influence on that whole album. Thicke is like a modern day Frank Sinatra. Bruno Mars is also in that category. And women love to hear that guy [laughs]. Since we’re talking romance, let’s talk falsetto. You use it consistently on this album, which I thought sounded like Justin Timberlake. Am I exaggerating his influence on you? Both musically and visually, The 20/20 Experience seems to have had a major impact on In Technicolor. I wouldn’t say that Justin himself—I’ve never set out to be a Justin Timberlake. The comparison alone is a huge compliment. But I think a lot of his influences are also mine. This is the strongest I’ve ever been vocally, so that’s why I wanted to use as much falsetto as I could. Justin has an amazing falsetto too, so I get the comparison. But there are also just not a lot of blue-eyed soul guys singing R&B music [laughs]. Speaking of growing up, I know you’re from Ardsley, New York. I’m actually from Dobbs Ferry and went to your rival high school. No kidding! I had a couple friends from Dobbs Ferry. I was on the varsity baseball team. We played you guys in sports! When I was in middle school, everyone knew you were in Dream Street. At least, my friends and I certainly did. I’m going to bet you were pretty popular in school. It was hard to peg me in high school. I didn’t have a group. I wasn’t in the jock group or even with the drama kids. I did my thing outside of school. Everyone knew I was kind of a music guy, but no one knew how into it I was until after “Beautiful Soul” hit. People were like ‘No way! Is that what you’ve been doing all this time?’ What did you do for fun? I had a great group of friends. As you know, it was a very small town. We’d drive to the local coffee shop—which at that time, Starbucks had just gotten into town. We’d hang out in the parking lot on Saturday nights [laughs]. That place was a game changer! I went on my first date at that Starbucks. That’s so funny. Every time I go back there, it’s like nothing has changed. My family sold the house two years ago, but I still make the drive up the Saw Mill [laughs]. It’s like frozen in time. What did life look like for you at age 16? Were you considering college? I was missing a lot of school. Let’s see, when I was 16, I went out to LA and booked a pilot for my first year out. I shot it, and then at the end of the school year, they actually picked up the show [Summerland]. And all of a sudden I was getting paid substantially and had to make a choice. My parents kind of got it. They were both theater rats in the 70s in Manhattan. I imagine if I grew up in a household of nine-to-fivers, it would have been harder. I was scared. I just thought, 'if this doesn’t work out, I’m going to be 20 years old without a degree.' Not going to college was a really tough decision. I was very fortunate it all worked out.

Did somebody say Stevie and Prince? Let me look into this. I actually enjoyed his last album but I wouldn't call myself a fan. Reading these interviews has me interested but one thing that irks me. Why do these artists have such a hard time acknowledging that they were inspired by Usher, Justin Timberlake/*NSYNC or BSB? Like I just don't get it. LOL

LOL I think it's because it looks like "copying" when they are "inspired" by a current artist. It's more respectful, to some, to be inspired by the classics that almost everybody loves.

One day-actually one day soon-it will be appropriate to acknowledge how Usher, Justin Timberlake and the like have inspired new singers. It is just that any singer who is coming out/has come out is more of a contemporary of Usher and Justin Timberlake as opposed to hailing from separate generations.

Jesse McCartney: 'I've never said this in an interview'By Allison Walker, Entertainment Reporter/Anchor Last Updated: Tuesday, August 19, 2014, 6:53 PM Try this for a business card title: Soap opera star-turned-boy bander-turned-Disney talent-turned- 27-year-old singer making 20-somethings scream like tweens. And breathe. Pop/R&B singer-songwriter Jesse McCartney is on a 26-city tour. He recently dropped his fourth studio album, "In Technicolor" -- which is his first in four years. We landed an EXCLUSIVE interview with him right before his show at the House of Blues at Downtown Disney. You can watch the raw interview in the video section to the right. Or, keep on keeping on for a slice of our chat: ALLISON WALKER: Jesse, my friend. Thanks for being with us!JESSE MCCARTNEY: Great to see you. How are you? AW: Awesome. Welcome to Orlando. Just so you know, "In Technicolor" is my favorite thing you've ever done. You wrote or co-wrote every single track. Where do you pen this stuff?JM: All over the place, and sometimes in the most arbitrary of places, like in the bathroom. All of a sudden I'm in the shower and I'm like, oh man, this is a really good idea. (So I) jump out and write it down. You know, for me, the last few years I took off just to focus on my writing and my craft. I'd done a few acting projects on the side, but I really just kinda wanted to figure out what it is I wanted to say, how I wanted to be perceived. Um, I knew I was going to be leaving Hollywood Records -- a major record company -- and starting my own company. I really wanted to focus on what I was going to say ... Honing in on your writing, I think, is the most important thing you can do. AW: One of the songs that's getting the most buzz is "The Other Guy" because you get behind the piano live on stage. Is there any relevance or is it just made up?JM: Well, you know, I actually explain during the live show and it's true -- I've never even said this in an interview because I haven't had the chance to, but -- you hear so often the female's perspective of being, like, the third wheel or being in a relationship that's just never going to happen because of the other woman or the other man, you know. And you never hear the guy's, sorta, side of that and you never hear the guy's story. It's not necessarily a true story, but I think it's something that a lot of people have been through. Being with somebody who's taken -- that's a tough thing to go through, especially when you're madly in love with that person and it's never going to happen. So anyway, I think it's just a spin on it and I think one of the best songs I've personally ever written and I'm really proud of that song. AW: And your vocal range on that -- oh my gosh! Is that, on stage, your most challenging thing to do?JM: It's one of the hardest songs to sing, period. Just getting behind a microphone and singing that song is very challenging. But I'm playing it, too, so it's a lot of fine-tuning and making sure that you're warmed up. AW: The song "Back Together" -- you were writing that with Hot Chelle Rae and they're like, 'Dude, you should have this.'JM: Yea, so "Back Together" was the first -- you really know your stuff. This is refreshing. "Back Together" was the first song written for this album, but what happened was -- it was sort of a happy accident. ... We got in and all of a sudden this song that we started writing started to sound very, kinda, throwback soulful/R&B. And I pulled Ryan (Follesé) aside and I said, 'Ryan, this is kind of exactly what I need for my record. This is what I've been looking for for the last year.' And he's like, 'Well then you should cut it. It should be your song.'

He'd probably be a pretty good judge on a talent competition. Overseas if nothing is available in the states. Would get him some new fans.

That's ashame and come across as petty to me. But I do understand that it must get annoying to always be compared to someone.
Anyways, this album is some garbage. He pretty much gave us a cheap knockoff of the 20/20 Experience condensed into a kidz bop singalong. He had a small window to make me an undercover fan and he failed. I wish him the best of luck with his future endeavors.

I like this album a lot more than the original 20/20 experience. Yes it did seem like a coincidence that he put out music like this when Justin just had. Maybe Justin did inspire him some. However so did Robin Thicke and probably some others. Besides I think Jesse's is a bit peppier and has a slight bit more of a pop feel to it than Justin's cd in my opinion. Anyways I SO hope they release Punk Drunk Recreation". It's probably my 2nd favorite from the cd. (Superbad) being my favorite.
