MANILA, Philippines - Jessie J (photo) is not just a great pop artist, or a great R&B artist or even a great hip-hop artist. The British-born, Essex-bred vocalist is malleable enough to encompass several genres and sing her heart out, while displaying vocals reminiscent of Motown-era greats. Although she may not be able to play the piano, Jessie is armed with the chops to blow people away, and the song-writing skills to pen a worldwide hit.
This 22-year-old singer songwriter first saw fame when she began writing tracks for Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys and Christina Aguilera and even co-wrote the song, Party In The U.S.A for Miley Cyrus. From there, everything seemed to have swiftly led her toward success after winning this year’s prestigious Critic’s Choice award at the Brits and BBC Sound of 2011 as Most Promising New Artist — an amazing double hit for a brand new artist. Another momentous achievement is also coined from Jessie J’s current hit single, Price Tag, which has already rocketed straight to No. 1 iTunes and the midweek charts, with views of the video already topping over a million on YouTube. It also quickly charted in our local radio top hit charts just a few days after its debut.
If there would be a list of new artists to watch out for in 2011, Jessie J is sure to be part of it. She is an exceptional lady who has proven that music isn’t always about just the beats, melody or telling a story. Through Price Tag, she has made music a powerful tool to reach out to her listeners and encourage them to step up and make a difference in the world governed by materialistic mentality. With her powerhouse voice accompanied by such inspiring and genuine talent, there is no doubt about her songs and upcoming debut album titled, Who You Are becoming a massive hit in the Philippines.
