[FIRST LISTEN] Jessie J "My Shadow"
November 23, 2011
Jessie J unleashed a brand-new pressing of her debut album "Who You Are" in digital stores yesterday that includes a few brand-new tracks. The "Platinum Edition" of "Who You are" features three fresh new bonus tunes, including her new U.S. single "Domino," "Laserlight," a new collaboration with David Guetta and "My Shadow" that she worked on with her long-time collaborators The Invisible Men.
Once again, The Invisible Men know exactly how to hit Jessie's vocal sweet point with this inspired R&B pop ditty. Set to a soaring arrangement that can easily be scaled back to an acoustic piano riff, "My Shadow" is one of the those songs that reminds you instantly of why Jessie J truly is one of the most phenomenal pop vocalists on the scene right now. She rips with such ease and injecting every word with a dose of of heartfelt emotion that is palpable.
Jessie J just finished up her U.K. tour and she is going back into the studio to work on her new album, but if this new "My Shadow" is any indication, she sure is in the zone together with The Invisible Men to deliver a dynamite follow up record that fans are craving for and skeptics who have been on the fence are curious to hear.
