Jessie J is digging a little deeper on her brand new album.
Moments ago, the British bred belter formally announced her new album ‘R.O.S.E.’
The reveal came in the form of a video, which saw her elaborate on the various reasons for the title and what it means to her. Including her desire to blossom as the artist she truly is and that it’s also her mother’s name.
Peep the vid and more below…
She also added the following to color in what each letter means specifically…
R.ealisations ?
O.bsessions ?
S.ex ?
E.mpowerment?
*************
‘Real Deal,’ which she insists wasn’t a single, was released last month and appeared to be the first taste of what she’s bringing to the table this go round.
Though not “bad,” it didn’t rouse us as we’d have hoped.
With the wheels now turning on the album campaign, fingers crossed the material she drops next has more mass appeal.
Because, while she should always be true to herself artistically, the reality is that the lion-share of her success and fan-base have been accrued making music with ample Pop appeal. Hence, even if desiring to veer more “artistic” this go-round, it’s imperative that there’s something for everyone. Just our two cents.
she’s a great singer in need of better materials
The biggest crime ever was her not popping off stateside like she, vocally speaking, deserves to.
Her music and aesthetic was too urban too late. “Domino” is a bop, though. Still.
I’m here for her because she can sing and has a few songs that i like, but the mass media wont be because they like there women lolita like and focusing more on dresses and images and…. this is why a lot of artists fall off and the Rita’s of this world get column pages. Jessie along with Alexandra & Leona need to play the game just a little enough to garner attention and for people to take an interest in their music and less on the other stuff that is primarily not that interesting.
I like the song she sang at a fashion show which is her first single and another that she sang on Instagram but neither have the pop appeal so she needs to full on promo the “urban market and do hot 97 and talk about her relationship with Like James and all the other stuff that they’ll ask, be charismatic and hopefully sell some records. I also think she needs to commit to the song that she wants and stop half stepping.
I smell a F.L.O.P.
