November 12, 20159 yr Sony Music Entertainment is pleased to announce that off the back of her incredible performance of ‘Shake That’ featuring Pitbull on The X Factor Australia tonight, Samantha Jade has announced that she will be releasing her debut artist-album NINE on Friday November 20th through Sony Music Entertainment Australia. NINE is available to pre order now NINE is an album of beauty and complexity, which on the surface first blossoms as melodic pop affair, but which slowly reveals its complexities and maturity. Samantha Jade is proud of her passion for pop music, and doesn’t shy away from the wide appeal of her musical style. The songs on offer aren’t trendy, of-the-moment, producer-stamped recordings, but instead deliver fresh, catchy, and instantly-dynamic hooks that revel in joy and positivity. “When we started to make this album my team at Sony asked me what kind of record I wanted to make and I told them I wanted to make a pop record because that’s what I love. I wanted to make pop music that wasn’t too in your face, and had an influence from a number of styles and tempos. I like all different sides of pop music so I really wanted some diversity from the songs I included on the album. “Songs like ‘Show Me Love’, ‘Always’, ‘Shake That’, and ‘What You Want’ are very fun pop songs that make you feel like letting go and enjoying the good times, whereas songs like ‘Castle’ and ‘Nine’ are songs to inspire people and to give them strength and courage.” Recorded in the US and Australia with a team of international writers and producers from around the globe that includes the likes of Babyface (Whitney Houston), The Rascals (Ariana Grande), Jon Levine (Rachel Platten), Mason ‘MDL’ Levy (Justin Bieber), The Fliptones (Britney Spears), DNA (Jessica Mauboy), Tiffany Fred (Jason DeRulo) and Mansur Zafr (Rihanna), NINE is an undeniable collection of heavyweight pop genius. Despite this involvement, it’s the songs themselves that anchor this album, and no more so than on the cornerstone title track ‘Nine’ which reveals the true depth of Samantha Jade’s artistic ability and song writing prowess.  “When I wrote ‘Nine’, I wanted to get a sense of positivity in even the darkest moments so it came with the reference of being on cloud 9 or a cat with nine lives. The number 9 has also always been important in our family, and our birth dates have some sort of connection with it too. The song is very organic in that sense and directly from my heart.” The range of material on NINE is a reflection of a wealth of industry experience which has informed the artist Samantha Jade is today. She isn’t a just a pretty young popstar on the rise, Samantha Jade is a woman of experience, determination, and talent, with something to say.
November 12, 20159 yr Who let the intern write that press release? It's cringe-worthy but I'm still really looking forward to the album, just hope it's better than Shake That.

November 17, 20159 yr Got an email informing me my signed pre-order has now been dispatched. Should get it Thursday, if I'm lucky maybe tomorrow. (Though I'm not expecting it)
November 17, 20159 yr Not sure how I feel about 'Born to be Alive'. I mean it's ok, but I hope the rest of the album is better.
November 18, 20159 yr Got an email informing me my signed pre-order has now been dispatched. Should get it Thursday, if I'm lucky maybe tomorrow. (Though I'm not expecting it) No luck today, hopefully tomorrow.
November 18, 20159 yr So the album is out on Friday. Chart position predictions? I am gonna go with 21 and out sadly.
November 18, 20159 yr I agree she'll do a Ricki-Lee and peak somewhere around 20 on fanbase and then totally bomb out. Well, Ricki's last album made #14, she might just about manage that but the bombing out in one week thing is sadly kind of inevitable.
November 19, 20159 yr No delivery again today. Considering the dispatch and my delivery address are suburbs apart. Guess they don't want to break embargo. Oh well only 12 hours 30mins to go, same for Adele's album. :)
November 19, 20159 yr Author It's currently at a massive 134 on the iTunes album chart. iTunes Australia: Nine: #58 (+86) *pre-order* Edited November 19, 20159 yr by johnnyorfino
November 19, 20159 yr Having now heard Always in full, it is nice but forgettable, it's not as good as Sweet Talk.
November 19, 20159 yr Author You can buy "Nine" on iTunes now: https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/nine/id1056026736 iTunes Australia: Nine: #39 (+19)
November 19, 20159 yr Author iTunes Australia: Nine: #26 (+13) It's doing really good compared to Nathaniel or Dami Im for example. Nathaniel did around 2 800 copies in his first week and Dami did around 3 700 so she should do more. I think her album will sell around 4 000 to 5 000 copies.

Dami Im got to number 7 with a platinum and a gold single on it, I don't see Samantha reaching that high, especially without a hit single on the album. This album is about 2 years too late, and while I would love to see it have a high peak and stick around for ages, I think that shit has sailed and Samantha will be dropped in the new year.
