Yes I’m talking about the one and only Jessie J, who has planned to hit the UK hard and heavy. She’s that guy who will be playing everywhere this year and so far being received very well, and I say bring it on Jessie J I’m ready to be shocked.
Her Debut single ‘Do it like a Dude’ has been all over the radio and her music video playing non-stop over the music channels. “Stomp stomp, I’ve arrived” is how she opens herself in her first lyric and of course she did just that. Already getting critics backs up she has claimed the BBC sound of 2011 award, and will receive that at this year’s Brit Awards. This award has gone to all women in the past, dating back to Adele, Florence and Ellie Goulding; who have all shown their success in their debuting year. Jessie J is coming with something fresh and with a great attitude of ‘no rules, free for all’ mantra so let’s crack on. She’s outspoken and sings about society, maybe there’s some heartbreak in amongst her album due to release sometime this year. Hopefully it becomes the sound of rebellion against parts of the system and patriarchal ideology so we cannot wait to hear what she comes up with next.
Jessie J suffered with a minor stroke at 18, at a very big milestone in a teenager’s life. She does not drink, smoke or take drugs due to this attack giving her an irregular heartbeat; therefore uncertainty of what could happen if she did. I have known friends that have suffered trauma and got over it very well and not let it interfere with what has become of them now. I think she is a great role model for this attitude that you don’t have to drink (or drink too much) to have a good time. Her bad girl attitude and killer hills initially forms a snap judgement of her, that she must be bad and do bad things; actually she does not and cannot so she’s breaking the rules of stereotyping. She is breaking the mould and that is what her and some other artists are trying to do right now, she’s shouting it and let’s get ready to listen.
