New Female Artists:PT 3 - Spotlight on Jessie J

How people have heard of  Youtube sensation Jessie Cornish ?

None of you ,I hear you say!

WRONG!

Jessica Cornish aka Jessie J is the artisit of the moment,if you don't know about her,you will be the end of this month (as she is getting bigger by the day)

I featured Jessie in a post back in November 2010,as Do Like It A Dude was due for release the following month.When released it entered the top forty and continued to climb the charts for the coming weeks.

Fast forward two months:

* Jessie J won the BBC's Sound of 2011 poll

* Won a Brit's Critics Choice award

*' Do It Like A Dude' peaked at Number two in the UK charts

*  Her second single Price Tag ft B.O.B is Number One in the mid week chart,not surprising as the video has had over 2,600,000 million hits in a week !



The Number one position,is well deserved.As she has been very honest about her struggles in becoming a recording artist,along with her personal struggles (which include suffering from a stroke).

It is also one of the first singles to be out after the new agreement.Which means that when a new single is released on radio,it would subsequently be available to download digitally within the same week.The agreement is shared by the big four music labels,these are Universal (Jessie's label),Warner,Sony and EMI

Jessie has performed in gigs throughout the UK since the end of last year,below is her performing 'Price Tag' at London's Scala with Devlin

                                  

Jessie J's début album 'Who We Are' is out on 28th February,four weeks early then planned and I can't wait to get my copy.

Jessie J has well and truly done a 'Justin Bieber',by moving away from being that amazing singer on Youtube to taking over the UK and mark my words,she will do the same to the world.Lady Gaga better watch out!
