Jessie J secretly teams up with Adele’s favourite songwriter for first album in seven years

JESSIE J is preparing to make her comeback after teaming up with Adele’s favourite songwriting partner Ryan Tedder, I can exclusively reveal. It’s been seven years since the Bang Bang singer last dropped an album. But an insider said: “Jessie has recorded a string of new songs and has her fifth album ready to go. “She’s been through some seismic changes in her life over the past couple of years, most notably becoming a mum, and it’s inspired her to get back into the studio.

“Jessie spent time writing with Ryan, who wrote her song I Want Love, and they’ve come up with some amazing new tunes. “It has been a long time coming but the timing had to be right. “She didn’t want to keep churning out record after record, and wanted it to feel authentic and real. “Jessie couldn’t be more excited to share what she has been working on with her fans and she will be announcing her first song in the spring.”.

Jessie’s last album, R.O.S.E, was released in four parts in 2018 but failed to have the impact the ex-Voice UK coach had hoped for. In 2023, she split from Republic Records after 17 years and told fans she was looking for a fresh start. Becoming a mum to son Sky was also a driving force. She said at the time: “There’s no negative spin, nothing’s happened, it’s not dramatic. “It’s just me literally saying, ‘This doesn’t feel right’ and it hasn’t for years.”.

My insider has heard a few snippets of her upcoming single and says that she is sounding better than ever. Jessie, we’re so pleased to have you back. Ariana Grande looked Wicked in pink as she joined fellow former child star Selena Gomez at a movie bash. They were both honoured at the Virtuosos Award gala as part of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, after Ariana revealed she is hoping to stick around on screen.

She is nominated for Supporting Actress at the Oscars for her turn as Glinda in Wicked, and is hoping to get another role after the sequel Wicked: For Good comes out in November. The Positions singer said: “I would love to exist in this space for a while longer. “I love finding characters that make people feel seen and human. I’d love to continue on this road.”. Meanwhile, Selena spoke out at the festival after her Emilia Perez co-star Karla Sofia Gascon was criticised when a raft of hate-filled historic tweets surfaced.

Admitting it has tarnished her awards experience, Selena said: “Some of the magic has disappeared. “But I choose to continue to be proud of what I’ve done, and I’m just grateful and live with no regrets.”. “I would do this movie over and over again if I could.”. Posh and Becks will be cracking open a bottle of their favourite Chateau Mouton Rothschild this week after David won his $1billion lawsuit against counterfeiters ripping off his name.

I revealed last May his firm DB Ventures, which looks after the former footballer’s big-money deals, had launched two lawsuits in the US. It was to clamp down on nearly 500 vendors who were flogging fakes of his gear. The cases were aimed at counterfeiters selling knock-off clothes, watches, perfume, sunglasses, video games, toys, footballs and sports gear via sites including Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Temu and Walmart.

Now a judge in the States has ordered that every penny the sites have made from dodgy goods be transferred back to his business. There is also now a permanent injunction in place to stop anyone from making money on copycat products. Becks, described as a “fashion icon” in the paperwork, will now have the cash transferred back to DB Ventures, which is backed by its rights management firm Authentic Brands Group.

It’s a massive victory for Becks, who also won a £240million case against counterfeiters last year. An insider told me: “Authentic Brands want to stamp out this issue and stop people from selling fakes of David’s products. “They pride themselves on the quality of their products and people are being ripped off without their knowledge.”. If Kasabian and Oasis had a baby, you’d end up with Ecko.

They are a rock band from Ayrshire who also have a flavour of Arctic Monkeys – and I’m hooked. Bizarre reader David Adams, who describes himself as a persistent NHS nurse, sent me a link to their new track Play Pretend and urged me to take a listen. And I wasn’t disappointed, with big things to come for this as-yet-unsigned Scottish four-piece. Frontman Jamie Warden has all the swagger of Kasabian’s Serge Pizzorno and backs it up with killer vocals, alongside bandmates Matthew Welsh on guitar, drummer Jonny Armstrong and bassist Liam O’Connor.
