Back in August I did a post about a promising new talent named BC Jean and I’m embarrassed to say it’s taken me since then to do another post about her. Back in September, BC released her debut single, “Just A Guy,” on J Records. Co-written by Jean and The Matrix, the song was produced by Ryan Tedder and seemed to be a pretty good sample of what we can expect from her debut album. The song is a feisty, girly anthem that showcased BC Jean‘s attitude and as well as her songwriting and gritty vocals.
Back in April, Jean released her follow up single, a lovely ballad called “I’ll Survive You,” that allows a completely different side of BC Jean to shine, vocally speaking. Co-written by Max Martin, Savan Kotecha and Shellback the song shows a more vulnerable side of Jean, sounding a bit like a blend of Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson and Kimberly Caldwell.
BC Jean is working on her debut album with talented producers and songwriters including Dallas Austin, The Matrix, Toby Gad and more. We can surely count of some more quality songwriting from Jean herself, who penned Beyonce‘s hit single, “If I Were A Boy,” along with Gad. Jean’s album is expected out sometime later this year. Download “I’ll Survive You” on iTunes HERE as well as her original single “Just A Guy” (HERE). You can also snag “Anyone,” another BC Jean ballad (HERE).
