Jessie J – Who You Are

I first heard Jessie J one Saturday night while watching SNL.  She was the performer for the night.  Her look was so unique, for one set she was wearing thigh high stockings, high heals, and a sexy bodice.  Keeping it unique she had jet black hair styled like a modern bob.   She had this great soulful voice and she rocked out on stage.  I loved her sound and wanted to hear more from her album, Who You Are.

The album begins with the chart topping  “Price Tag” featuring B.o.B, a fun, upbeat song about living in the moment away from image and money.  When listening to her album, I feel everything she sings about.   “Nobody’s Perfect” the second track makes me remember those times when I said to much and wished I could take it back, but then she picks me right back up with “Abracadabra”, one of my favorites. It’s reminiscent of Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson mixed with her soulful edge.  It’s the kind of song that puts you in a fun loving mood and makes you want to dance around. Jessie J sings about so many relatable experiences and her amazing voice only makes it more appealing.  This is the album you want to keep around because it has a song for any emotion have or want to have.  I’d say this album is most likely a ladies choice but I wouldn’t be surprised if I caught my boyfriend singing along when it’s playing.
