You may think of her as the British Katy Perry, but Jessie J wholeheartedly promises to “do it like it ain’t been done” on her new effort “Sweet Talker.” Despite her dynamic vocal stylings which rival the R&B genre’s finest, it’s clear that she is catering to a pop audience (see lead–single “Bang Bang”). Even her ballads are big, string–laden affairs that complement the raw power of her voice (“Fire”). Still, there’s something much more resonant in the tender, quieter moments of the record (“Personal”). She advocates for self–love on “Masterpiece,” and the unlikely collaboration with De La Soul “Seal Me With a Kiss” channels old–school funk with its Funkadelic–sampled beat. Overall, it’s her stellar vocals that add edge and spunk to otherwise basic pop songs.
