Jessie J - Who Are You?

Essex girl, Jessie J, the most spoken about female artist has released a new single featuring rapper B.O.B. The song entitled 'Price Tag' speaks of a world where every thing is dominated by money. In a world where everything is measured by wealth, brand and looks, Jessie J has put the song out at the right time. Cute, pretty and an oh-so-squeaky clean video to go along with it. But is this really her? Or she another puppet? (Watch the video of 'Price Tag' at the bottom of the page)

'Do it Like A Dude' was her 1st single from the anticipated album 'Who You Are', and the video concept for that is very different to 'Price Tag'. 
 
There is no doubt that this female artist can sing much better than 99.9% of the current singers out there. Male and female. Watching her YouTube video's, you realise that the UK has something they can be very much proud of. When Jessie J sings, she sings with passion and meaning. Something that music has lost ages ago. I personally am glad that she can bring that back. My fear is that 'Do It Like A Dude' was a very watered down song and did not expect it to be her very 1st single. The track, which was written by Jessie herself was for Rihanna so it obviously weren't going to be as soulful as any of Jessie's other songs like 'Mama Knows Best', 'Big White Room' and 'Technology'.

I hope that the label don't take something good and turn it into another pop act. Hopefully Jessie J being the strong minded artist she is, wont allow it.

'Who You Are' will be in stores March 28th.
