Alive

Alive is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Jessie J. It was released on 23 September 2013 through Lava Music and Universal Republic. American rap artist Becky G, singer Brandy Norwood, American hip-hop artist Big Sean and British Grime artist Dizzee Rascal all make guest appearances on the album. Jessie co-wrote the album with Claude Kelly, amongst a host of collaborators from both new and old. Upon release, the album was met with a mixed reception of music critics. While there was praise for Jessie's vocals, some felt that the album was too generic. Musically, Alive is a pop and R&B album that features influences from dance-pop, pop rock, soul and hip hop in its production. The album debuted and peaked at number three on the UK Albums Chart. It spawned two top-five hits including "Wild" and "It's My Party", as well as a top-twenty single, "Thunder". Jessie supported Alive with the Alive Tour, playing 19 dates across the UK, from October to November 2013. - WIKIPEDIA

    dips into r’n’b-style balladry, with light touches of hip hop and electro-boogie.

    Previously, Jessie J didn’t use the range within her music as dynamically as she has in Alive. This is why her new album will garner the attention that she deserves.

    This album confirms how Jessie J is an extremely talented singer and songwriter.

  • POP! BANG! BOOM!

    ‘Alive’ doesn’t show much growth or shifting as an artist, but that’s not what concerns me; rather, it is the lack of big radio potential.

  • Entertainment Focus

    Alive is an album that doesn’t stick to one sound or genre of music.

  • The Edge

    This album has some gems, the overall feel being that Jessie is keen branch out and experiment with new genres and target audiences and yet at the same time does not want to alienate her current fan-base.

    She is a rare talent and although the whole album isn’t perfect, she did come close.

    Jessie J certainly isn't lacking in personality herself – so why does her new album sound so cliched and stale.
