Album Review | Jessie J's 'Alive'

Hello, my lovelies!

In today’s post, I wanted to talk to you about my favourite album at the moment which is the wonderful Jessie J’s album; ‘Alive’. This album is honestly one of my most favourite albums ever alongside Ed Sheeran’s ‘+’, Example’s ‘Evolution of Man’, Michael Jackson’s ‘Off The Wall’, and Paramore’s ‘Brand New Eye’. I wish I listened to it much earlier than just three days before seeing her sing live in concert at the O2 but, regardless of that, I’m in love with it. In this post, I’ll have a little fangirl moment and you guys can chat back to me in the comments about how amazing the woman is if you fancy it!

Okay so my favourite up-beat song on the album is probably ‘Excuse My Rude’ ft. Becky G. I am just in love with it because it says, straight up, how basically all of us humans feel about that one certain person (the one we say we ‘hate’ on a daily basis). It speaks about all of the bad qualities in the person she hates and why she hates those qualities but she manages to do it in a humorous and catchy way. I believe this song will soon be quite big and could almost act as a ‘let off steam’ mechanism for the human race (or maybe, one day, a school like East High in High School Musical will break into song telling each other what they hate about each other with this song – I’m secretly hoping for that to be my college. That will turn out to be one of the most amazing experiences of my life; to be a part of a cheesy little musical!) Anyway, the tune of the song just makes you want to get up and dance even if you are fully against dancing. It’s true, it will.

‘Hero’ is the next song from the album that I am in love with. If anyone remembers Jessie’s first album, they will remember her very first single ‘Do It Like A Dude’ which was quite heavy and had a lot of punch to it. This song has that same punch and heavy-ness to it however, it has more meaning. We are told that Jessie J ‘don’t need no hero’ meaning that she doesn’t need to be in a relationship with someone to be happy. I love how this song allows you to just go crazy and gets you lost in it. It is not a typical ‘club’ song that you would hear in the current charts which is what makes the song stand out for me. This song live is also just flawless. I just love Jessie J full stop. She’s just brilliant.

As much as I love every song on the album (especially the two above), my absolute favourite song from the album is ‘Breathe’. This song is a slow ballad and it is great to sing along to with it at full volume. The off-beat parts of the chorus make it really interesting and just brilliant to listen to. Jessie J shows of her vocals (which I am SOOO jealous of) which are just out-of-this-world AMAZING. To be honest, you really really need to listen to all three of these amazing songs to understand my love for them. They are all perfect and amazing.

I hope you enjoyed today’s blog post guys. I hope you’re all having an amazing Sunday, hope your week is a good’un and speak to you next Sunday!

Love you all lots
