If anyone needs a comeback it’s 25 year old pop singer Jessica Sierra. Sierra first came into the spotlight back in 2005 during the fourth season of American Idol where she came in tenth (Carrie Underwood ultimately went on to win). After Idol ended, Sierra signed to indie label Verge Records and released one single, “Unbroken” (check out the video HERE) as well as an EP called Deepest Secret. Unfortunately for Sierra, her post Idol years were not so kind. Sierra next came into the spotlight as a patient on the VH1 reality series Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew where she came clean about her substance abuse problems. After Rehab, Sierra parted ways with her label and signed a new deal with Elite B Records. “Enough,” is the first single off her forthcoming debut record Rebound, due sometime this Winter. In talking about the song, Sierra owns up to her past mistakes, saying:
“Everyone makes mistakes. But when those mistakes are made in the eye of the media it’s very common for those hardships to define you. ‘ENOUGH’ is about not letting that happen. It’s about owning my past, taking responsibility for my actions and moving on.”
While not nearly as catchy as “Unbroken,” “Enough” is a good showcase for Sierra’s vocal ability. There’s never been any doubt about her talent – Simon Cowell even said during her season that she had one of the strongest female vocals in the competition. Now it’s all about proving to herself that she still has what it takes to keep going. “Enough” is out now on iTunes, Amazon and through her official website, JessicaSierra.com.
