Dirty Dancing In the Moonlight

Ok, I've got 3 artists I would like to share but don't have the time to give them all the attention they deserve in one huge post, so I'll break them down...and I'll start with the song I currently can't get out of my head.

I think a lot of you might be familiar with songstress Jessie J. She is from the United Kingdom (I know y'all are probs getting tired of this, but her and the other two people I want to share are also international, sorry I'm not sorry) and she has some serious pipes on her. The song that she blew up with were she told us "It's not about the money, money, money" and how she just wants to "make the world dance" featured B.o.B. and is called "Price Tag."

Again, I heard this song long before it hit (American) radio waves, and pre-ordered her debut album Who You Are. And it is phenomenal. It includes tracks with subjects that have been covered by other artists, but presents them in a slightly different way. Some themes: poking fun at those who made fun of you when you were little and later you made it big (Jessie J's song: "Who's Laughing Now" - contemporary song: "Mean" by Taylor Swift - and this song has been stuck in my head as well); another theme: self empowerment (Jessie J's song, her album title track, "Who You Are" - and her contemporaries: Pink's "F**kin' Perfect," Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," and Katy Perry's "Firework"). Some acoustic performances of "Who You Are" even give me chills because she's that good and it it such an empowering message that you can just hear the emotion dripping in her voice when she sings it. She also devotes a song to the idea that girls can do whatever boys can and it it hilarious. It's "Do It Like a Dude."

But the song I'm here to share with y'all is one, that I got my hands on the day it was released (August 29th) and it has been one of those songs that I've been listening to non-stop. At times on the track you could possibly mistake the artist to be Katy Perry, but, no, it's Jessie J. The song is called, "Domino." Take a listen below:



This song, I feel, could have been a great summer song, but still, this is definitely dance floor anthem material. It's about going out and having a great time with someone special. It's catchy and fun and has that little guitar riff that replays in the background like other songs today (one that immediately comes to mind is Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger").

So listen up! Make every second a highlight! Dirty dance in the moonlight!

I rate this song: this could get BIG
