Jessie J � Don�t Tease Me with a Good Time

With Don't Tease Me with a Good Time, her sixth album, Jessie J delivers a rawer record than in the past, a project shaped by loss, resilience, and the desire to forge ahead despite adversity. Between still-raw grief, a complicated romantic past, and a breast cancer diagnosis revealed in 2025, the album becomes a space where she transforms vulnerability into creative fuel. It is certainly her most authentic and introspective work to date. Musically, she navigates between R&B, contemporary soul, and alternative pop, with rich, warm, and organic production led by Jesse Boykins III and Los Hendrix. Her voice is prominently featured and more impressive than ever. Unfortunately, the wide variety of styles between songs results in a certain lack of consistency throughout the album. Also, some tracks seem unfinished at times. Jessie J therefore offers a solid album, without being exceptional.

FEATURED NEW ARTIST:

Sombr � I Barely Know Her

On his debut album, Sombr proves that he has a real sense of melody, right from the opening seconds of the hit single "back to friends". He combines simplicity and intensity in a unique way, as well as exerting a charm all his own. This is evident throughout the young singer-songwriter's first album. Each track is carried on by a grandiose and unforgettable chorus, enhanced by the skilled and passionate vocal style of the New York singer. I Barely Know Her begins with the melodrama "crushing", followed by a touch of brightness with "12 to 12" and later, devastation in the excellent "canal street." Five minutes long, this last track proves central to the album and retraces Canal Street in New York City with a surprisingly concrete gaze. Some choruses may seem a little easier ("I wish I knew how to quit you" and "we never dated"), a few flaws linked to inexperience, but which are nonetheless an integral part of the album's central theme, heartbreak. "undressed", a gem, is another highlight of the album, lamenting the reluctance to "undress for someone new". The young man is making waves with his debut album, which is only the first chapter in a brilliant career to come.
