Jessie J’s sixth studio album ‘Don’t Tease Me With A Good Time’ - her first in nearly eight years - is a bold kaleidoscope of emotions, capturing the raw highs and lows of the last decade. Recorded over the past five years in Los Angeles, the album is emotional, unfiltered, and unapologetic, it’s music that wears its heart on its sleeve and demands to be felt at full volume. Working with a close-knit group of collaborators, Jessie J teams up with Ryan Tedder (One Republic, Beyonce, Adele), Jesse Boykins III, Los Hendrix (SZA, Brent Faiyaz), Marty Maro (John Legend, Anitta) and more, to create a body of work that effortlessly blends old-skool alt-R&B, upfront pop, and contemporary R&B. The 16-track album includes standout singles ‘Believe In Magic’, the deeply personal ‘No Secrets’, and the euphoric anthem ‘Living My Best Life’, teasing the album’s broad sound and subject matter. The album closes with the power-ballad ‘Award Goes To’, which Jessie J gave a showstopping live performance of earlier this year at the BAFTA Television Awards.
Speaking about the album, Jessie J said: “It’s been 8 years since my last body of work. I am so overjoyed this is finally being shared with the world, working with people so special and fun like Ryan Tedder and Jesse Boykins’s, los hendrix and Marty Maro. This music is so layered and stretched over so many emotional and celebratory years of my life. Crossing many genres and feelings. The songs are a journey of grief to joy. Finding the light, and life after loss. A journey so many of us go through and I hope these songs can hold the hand of anyone in need of a soundtrack to a good or bad time, I love making music I love sharing, I love connecting. I love an adventure. Don’t tease me with a good time”
