9.6.13 - New Music - Jessie J

Jessie J's new single "It's My Party" is everything her last attempt ("Wild") was not: fun, catchy, and pure, radio-friendly pop.

Critically there is a lot to look down on here. For starters, the tune is a bit too much like her smash "Domino", guitars and all. Also, I think people will be split when it comes to her lyrical interpolation (she liberally borrows lines like "It's my party / I'll do what I want" and "Dancing alone"), which is also reminiscent of "Domino".

Having done my critical duty, I can now also say that I love this song and cannot stop listening. This is an easy grab for a smash hit in the UK, but what about the US?
