Listen to Jessie J "Who You Are"
November 04, 2010
Newcomer Jessie J belts her heart out on the stunning "Who You Are" that has officialy been selected as her debut single. I alerted you earlier about the emerging British pop singer when I posted the tongue-in-cheek "Do It Like A Dude." Jessie is being championed by Dr Luke and was signed by Jason Lom, former CEO of Capitol/Atlantic Records and the man who discovered Katy Perry.
Jessie is a gifted pop chameleon who can easily morph from being the brassy pop povocateur on "Do It Like A Dude" to the poised soul diva on "Who You Are." Her mind-blowing vocal delivery on "Who You Are" add a heartfelt dimension to lyrics like, "Dreaming is believing. It's okay not to be okay. Just be true to who are." Emotions that we all can relate to in one way or another.
"Who You Are" is about a point in Jessie's career where the singer's aspirations were hanging on a thread. "The most important thing in life is to be happy, but everything had become too 'business' and sterile. I really thought I was going to quit—not music, but the music industry...it wasn't easy," Jessie explains in a press relesase. "I was really down, but when I'm down, I write a song about it." Thank you for that, dear Jessie.
The song is taken from Jessie's debut LP. No release date has been set, but boy, this is an album to look out for.
