Guest Review: Wayne Todd Repping Big Jessie J



In the next month we see the debut of Essex Girl Jessica Cornish AKA Jessie J, with her debut single Do it Like a Dude, which will be released in the UK 2nd January 2011. There's a lot riding on this track, so is it any good?


Jessie J is definitely one to watch in the next year as she brings something a bit different to the UK music scene. People may not of heard of Jessie J before but she as been making movement within the music industry for a while as she has co-wrote with Doctor luke the number 1 US song Party in the USA for Miley Cyrus, her song ‘sexy silk’ was featured in the hit film easy A. She is now signed to Island Records in the UK and Lava records in the US which is under the Universal Music group. Therefore, her music will not just be pumped into UK households, the Yankees will be experiencing the ghetto and soul of Jessie J aswell, not many UK acts have been able to say their debut album will be released Worldwide.

I must say she has a lot of ghetto swagga for an Essex girl which can be seen in her songs, for example she sings ‘do it like the mandem, mandem’. Do it like a dude is a fun track that will most definitely be a club banger here in the UK, especially for the ladies - the song is a feel good track that indicates that women can do what the mandemalem do. This is seen in the chorus ‘do it like a brother, do it like a dude, grab my crotch, wear my hat low like you’. This song has a lot of female attitude which can be seen before the chorus drops ‘you think I can get hurt like u, u mother F*****’. 

Jessie J’s swagga has definitely been maximised by writing this tune, but lets not forget this Essex girl has got soul which can be seen in her song ‘who you are’ which was featured in the hit film Step up 3D. This girl has talent vocally and can switch it up at the same time to make a tune sound grimey and fresh. This tune has a more urban feel that can be heard in the Labyrinth remix, but a more soulful side can be seen by the acoustic version of the track.
