Hard to believe pop singer Alexis Jordan is only 18 years old. What a voice! In the video for her new single “Good Girl,” Jordan struts her stuff around looking all fresh faced as if she’d just finished filming a Neutrogena commercial. In addition to being a great singer Jordan appears to have some quality dance moves down as well.
Jordan first rose to fame in 2006 when she audition for the first season of America’s Got Talent. Singing a rendition of Whitney Houston‘s “I Have Nothing,” Jordan made it to the next round but was eliminated in the semi finals. After America’s Got Talent, the South Carolina-native and her family moved to Atlanta and Jordan started releasing music on her YouTube channel. By 2008 Jordan’s YouTube videos were racking up millions of views, ultimately getting her noticed by production super team Stargate (Beyonce, Brandy) who had her fly to New York and record some material. During her time working with Stargate, Jay-Z caught wind of the talented young singer and signed her to his label, StarRoc/Roc Nation/Sony Music.
First single “Happiness” was co-written by Joel Thomas Zimmerman (AKA deadmau5), Autumn Rowe, and co-written and produced by Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen. While failing to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, “Happiness” went straight to the top of both the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play and Hot Dance Airplay charts. The single also peaked at #3 on the UK Singles chart and #3 in Australia where it’s been certified Gold, shipping over 35,000 units.
Single #2, “Good Girl” is due for release in the UK on February 20th, followed by the release of her self titled debut album on February 28th. So far “Good Girl” has been remixed by UK dance outfit Freemasons. Considering “Happiness” was remixed by the Wideboys, Dave Aude, Jump Smokers and Michael Woods, I can only imagine that “Good Girl” will also get some more remixes. Alexis Jordan is a beautiful young talent. Catchy, slick dance pop. That’s what I like. Bring on more of the same! Download the “Happiness” remixes on iTunes HERE.
