Jessie J is getting back into action in terms of new music. After releasing her third full-length, Sweet Talker, back in 2014, she’s been a bit quiet aside from her Pitch Perfect 2 song, “Flashlight” and Ice Age contribution, “My Superstar.” While there isn’t a new album just yet, she’s still going to be releasing something new in the coming days in the form of a cover.
According to AllMusic, Jessie J is set to release a cover of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons’ classic, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” in partnership with a new campaign from make-up company, Make Up For Ever. Sure, it’s a little more corporate than we’d want, but is there really ever any room to complain about new Jessie J songs? It’s a bit of an interesting track to take on, too, but if you listen to the original,...

About eight years ago, a guitar-wielding Michelle Trachtenberg doppelgänger walked into the audition room on the third season of Canadian Idol. Her name was Carly Rae Jepsen. “You’re 21, huh?” one of the judges asked. She nodded. “Going on … 14?” Completely ignoring this creepy yet somewhat understandable joke, she launched into a breezy original song called “Sweet Talker.” Her voice was soulful, fluttering, and a little stagy, like a girl playing the lead role in a (likely very boring) musical about the life of a young Norah Jones. She won the judges over, and their verdict was unanimous: You’re going to Toronto! The Canadian version of Paula Abdul had a big prediction for Carly Rae Jepsen: “I think you’re an absolute, total, bona fide star.” This prophesy turned out to be both true and false. After finishing third on Idol and toiling away in the Canadian music scene...

While Jessie J topped charts with the bouncy groove of 'Bang Bang' last year, the star has reminded us of her ability to nail a ballad on her new single.
The singer has recorded 'Flashlight' as the lead cut to be lifted from the upcoming Pitch Perfect 2 soundtrack.
The track is a soaring slow number backed by rousing strings and crashing beats, while Jessie's clear tone glides over the top.
It serves as the follow-up to Jessie's recent singles 'Bang Bang', 'Burning Up' and 'Masterpiece' from her latest album Sweet Talker.
Pitch Perfect 2, meanwhile, stars Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow and Skylar Astin. It will be in cinemas from May 15 and we can't a ca-wait.
Watch the trailer for Pitch Perfect 2 below:...

Before earning globetrotting diva cred and scoring her first Grammy nod, Jessie J was just a student with some killer pipes at the U.K.'s famed Brit School … alongside Adele. "We were in the same year! We used to sing at lunchtime together. Obviously at that time we didn't realize that we'd both [eventually] have music out," the singer, 26, tells People. "But she's amazing. She was always that really bright energy at school." Jessie J says they're still friendly, but with red-hot careers, they don't always have time to connect. "She's wicked, and every time I get a chance, I try and text her,...

Florida Georgia Line have their first No. 1 album, as "Anything Goes" bows on top of The Billboard 200. It sold 197,000 copies over last week. That bests the No. 2 on the list, Jason Aldean's former No. 1 "Old Boots, New Dirt," which sold 91,000. Suprisingly, Bob Seger's never had a higher debut than this week, as "Ride Out" starts out at No. 3 with 59,000. His 1986 album "Like a Rock" eventually peaked at the same spot, so it ties. You+Me -- the combo of Pink (Alecia Moore) and City And Colour's Dallas Green -- sees their "rose ave." bow at No. 4 with 50,000. Barbra Streisand's former chart-topper "Partners" falls No. 3 to No. 5 with 40,000. Sam Smith's "In the Lonely Hour" rebounds No. 10 to No. 6 with 37,000, after appearances on "The Tonight Show" and "Today." The Game's new one "Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf" howls at No. 7 with 33,000. Hoodie Allen's "People Keep Talking" starts at No.

Every week, members of the Vulture staff will highlight their favorite new songs. They might be loud, quiet, long, short, dance-y, rawkin', hip, square, rap, punk, jazz, some sort of jazz-punk-rap fusion — whatever works for the given person in that given week. Read our picks below and please tell us yours in the comments. (Also, read music critic Lindsay Zoladz's review of Jessie J's new album Sweet Talker.)Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne, "Real Love" If I had my way, 2014’s Song of Summer would’ve been Clean Bandit’s “Rather Be,” which zoomed up the British charts before making its way here — a bit too late to stomp out the infectious “Fancy.” Oh, well! They’ll get 'em next time, literally, with this follow up to “Rather Be,” which also features Jess Glynne and is also a banger. —Lindsey Weber (@LindseyWeber) Ex Cops, "White Noise" There's a lot...

The first rule of divadom: The moment of silence in “I Will Always Love You” is even more important than the Note. I wish someone would deliver this message to ubiquitous Brit Jessie J, pop’s most fidgety star. Throughout her third album, Sweet Talker (which is out this week in the U.S.), she sings like someone utterly incapable of restraint; even her inhales have jazz hands. Like an empty-nester with a newly acquired Bedazzler, Jessie J has never met a note she has not adorned with a trill, a flutter, or — the signature move she busts out when she is Really Emoting — a bleating effect I can only describe as goat vibrato. (“Big White Room,” her 2011 ballad about a young boy with a terminal illness, has a lot of goat vibrato.) I have a friend who, two years later, remains freshly angry that during the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony,...

If you're really honest with yourself, you'll admit that Jessie J's part is the best one in "Bang Bang," which also features Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande. Well, the British pop singer is very front-and-center in her new music video, for dance-inducing "Burnin' Up." This expensive little setup highlight pool-side action, buff bodyguards (or Lifeguards??), Jessie J stomping it out with a dance troupe and 2 Chainz just kinda showing up and being 2 Chainz. Whatever, grab some baby oil and a crystalline cocktail glass. "Burnin' Up" and "Bang Bang" are both off of Jessie J's next album "Sweet Talker," out next week.
