A preview of Jessie J's new song "Domino" was released in snippet form a few weeks ago, and it only clocked in at 21 seconds. But those 21 seconds were good enough to catch our attention and force us to literally stalk the internet looking for the full version. The single was set to drop Aug. 30, but it leaked today (bless your heart, Mr. Leaker-Man). While we always feel a little sad for any artist whose music gets illegally released, we're gonna stop being sad now to tell you that WE LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH.
Much like the snippet, the full-length "Domino" is your quintessential high-energy pop song -- it's got layered synths, a cheeky guitar intro and booming drums in the hook. Oh, and Dr. Luke produced it, which basically means it's gonna shoot straight to No. 1. Though the song is pure pop, we do hear hints of the more soulful, R&B side of Ms. J as she belts out, "Every second is a highlight/When we touch don't ever let me go."
And yes, we have to mention that the Katy Perry comparisons will run rampant with "Domino." But it's our firm belief that Jessie is so vocally talented that she can sing anything and make it sound unique. If it takes comparing her to Katy to get U.S. audiences to open up to her, then so be it. But Jessie J handles this track like a boss.
