Dislikes: Do It Like a Dude, Who’s Laughing Now
“Who You Are” by English singer-songwriter Jessie J is one the best pop/R&B albums of this year, but it’s hardly gotten the attention it deserves. Unlike a lot of mainstream albums, the record is eclectic (being an energetic and interesting blend of pop, R&B and hip-hop), the vocals are superb and soulful (listen to “Big White Room” below), and the material has a real point to it (no songs about being up in the club or screwing someone here- it’s all about self-reflection, inner strength, spreading love and living life to the fullest). The only major downside to this album is that it’s too short (with only 13 tracks)! Below is an album sampler, which doesn’t do the album much justice, so go check it out today! :)
