Jessie J is the newest thing to come out of London's music scene.
I happened upon her a couple weeks ago while watching a music video on youtube. Her new single "Do It Like a Dude" popped up as a "suggested video" and so I watched it.
It was interesting and her voice was pretty auto-tuned so I had NO idea of her potential until I watched her "vlogs" on youtube which show her singing these AMAZING songs (acoustically) that she has written.
After google-ing her I found out that not only does she have this incredible, soulful voice, but she writes all her own stuff AND has written for many other artists like Miley Cyrus, Rhianna, and Chris Brown.
She can rap with the likes of Missy Elliot but she can also ACTUALLY sing, which as sad as it sounds, is hard to find these days.
After watching some interviews with her I've come to the conclusion that she is definitely a new favorite. She has worked SO hard to get where she is and she isn't taking her success lightly. She is extremely thankful for everything and she is level headed. She isn't into the drug scene and has a real message that she wants to get across: Be true to yourself!
Her debut album is entitled "Who You Are" and with tracks like, "Nobody's Perfect" and "Stand Up" her message is clear.
Her album will drop on April 12, 2011 and I, for one, cannot wait!
I'll link her acoustic tracks on youtube here:

And I'll put her single (Do It Like a Dude) on the mp3 player in the left hand corner of the blog.
Enjoy!
