On May 13th British singer/songwriter
Jessie J will release “
LaserLight,” a collaboration with French DJ/Producer
David Guetta as the seventh single off her triple-platinum selling debut album,
Who You Are. The song, which was written by
Jessie J herself along with
The Invisible Men,
Giorgio Tuinfort,
Frederick Riesterer and Guetta, appears on the special
Platinum Edition of
Who You Are, which was released
November 14th in her native UK.
While nothing new or groundbreaking, “
LaserLight” certainly isn’t a toss away track. After having worked with
Jessie J previously on a track (“
Repeat“) included on his last album, Guetta returns the favor here on “
LaserLight.” Taking full advantage of
David Guetta‘s mass popularity and penchant for creating dance divas out of traditional pop stars, this collaboration totally makes sense to me. “
LaserLight” is a club-friendly banger that works with
Jessie J‘s powerhouse vocals soaring over Guetta’s generous electro-house beats. It’s basically “
When Love Takes Over” featuring
Jessie J, and that’s not a dis by any stretch of the imagination. A video for the single has reportedly been filmed and is expected out soon.
Who You Are has produced numerous hit singles all over the world including “Do It Like A Dude” (UK – #2), “Price Tag” (UK – #1; US – #23), “Nobody’s Perfect” (UK – #9), “Who’s Laughing Now” (UK – #16), “Domino” (UK – #1, US – #6), and “Who You Are” (UK – #8). The album itself debuted at #2 on the UK Albums Chart and in America, just outside the top 10 (at #11) on the Billboard 200. With that much chart success from one album, it’s no wonder BBC pursued 24 year old Jessie J to be one of the judges on The Voice UK. In addition to her gig on The Voice (which airs on BBC Saturday nights), she’ll be playing a string of UK festivals this summer, not to mention a performance in Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations this June, performing alongside Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John and others.
