Biography

Combining the vocal prowess of Beyoncé, the genre-hopping sounds of Gwen Stefani, and the feisty attitude of P!nk, songwriter Jessie J eventually overcame various career setbacks and health problems to become a star in her own right. Born Jessica Cornish in Chadwell Heath, London in 1988, she started her career in showbiz at the age of 11, performing in the West End production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Whistle Down the Wind. After studying musical theater at the prestigious BRITS School, she signed a deal with indie label Gut Records, which went bankrupt before releasing any of her music.

 

Following a minor stroke at age 18, she gained a Sony publishing contract and penned hits for the likes of Chris Brown, Dutch X Factor winner Lisa Lois, and Miley Cyrus (the American number two hit "Party in the USA"). After building up an established online presence, she signed to Universal Records and began working with the likes of hitmaker Dr. Luke (Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson), Atlanta rapper B.o.B, and R&B producer Labrinth on her debut album, Who You Are. In 2010, her first single, "Do It Like a Dude," originally written for Rihanna, reached number 25 in the U.K. charts and, following in the footsteps of Adele, Florence and the Machine, and Ellie Goulding, she was announced as the winner of the Critics Choice Award at the 2011 Brits. That same year, an appearance on Saturday Night Live coincided with her album being reissued in the U.S.

 

Following a tour that took in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Malaysia and her first show in North America, Jessie J became the first UK female solo artist to achieve six top-ten singles from a single studio album. The success of the sixth single “LaserLight”, featuring David Guetta, was aided in no small part by her appearance as judge on the UK edition of The Voice. The hit show gave the singer a chance to display her talent for musical coaching, while building a rapport with fans both old and new on primetime television. Also involved were Tom Jones and Will.I.Am, with whom Jessie J performed at Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee Concert in June 2012, before heading back to the studio to work on the follow-up to Who You Are. ~ Jon O'Brien & Daniel Clancy, Rovi / iTunes

Album Discussion Here

It annoys me that this is the song they're known by these days - Its really average compared to Little Lion Man/Winter Winds/The Cave. Gone off them massively compared to how much I loved their first album :(

 

I wouldn't have said that, I think at least 'Little Lion Man' and maybe 'The Cave' as well are still just as well-known as 'I Will Wait' is. They're all great though. Fab to see 'I Will Wait' back in the top 40 again (delayed comment as I was held up typing up their chart run that I hadn't prepared, oops)

 

'One More Sleep' was decent on first listen but I don't think it's very likely to become a ~classic~ :P Should get a decent effect from the XF performance though I think.

:cheer: Thunder is proper growing on me now. Shame Sexy Lady never went top 10. Just saw that now there. :(

I really like this new track from Jessie, so much better from her previous mess.

First time of hearing this, it's alright, miles better than "It's My Party" anyway.

I thought that "Thunder" sounded OK last week, but now on second listen, it's standard screechy Jessie J after all

I doubt it, it's down to #76 on iTunes.

 

Have they stopped the ad or something? It usually shoots up during XF like last week it went top 30 on iTunes - great track up to radio 1 blist at least!

First Jessie J song I've heard this era that's actually halfway to being good. That's impressive by her standards.

'Thunder' is fabulous. :wub: The singles from this era are so much better than the 'Who You Are' ones.

chez - your sig is so cute :)
