Britiske Jessie J er kvinden bag det store hit "Price tag", som stadig spilles i radioen. Nu er hun igen på toppen af hitlisterne med singlen "Talk dirty", en duet med rapperen 2 Chainz, som er forløberen for det her nye album. Med i studiet har hun også taget Pharrell Williams, der er et af de pt. hotteste navne i pop-brancen, både som producer og sanger efter medvirken hos Daft Punk og Robin Thicke. Her har han produceret et par numre, men ellers er "Alive" en ganske anonym popskive. Det vil sige: Jessie J har forsøgt at gardere sig, så her er både autotune, r&b, Pink-lignende selvbevidsthed og følsomme, halvakustiske Coldplay-strofer. Det kan ikke gå galt.

"What you might politely term a slightly contradictory attitude to that great pop bugbear of our times, The Haters. "Don't you get tired of being rude?" asks It's My Party, which is a fair question, but one you should perhaps think twice about asking if the chorus of one of the other songs on your album goes: "Excuse my rude [sic] but I really fucking hate you."Of course, none of this would matter if the choruses velcroed themselves to your brain: you could level a lot of the same criticisms at her debut album, Who You Are, and that sold 2.5m copies and spawned six top 10 singles. Instead, they just drift past, never latching on".
