After his Departure album held some great tracks, Jesse McCartney is now working on his next effort. He gave a little bit of insight on the album and what his plans are.
Jesse says, "Yeah, I have some ideas in mind [in terms of collaborations], but those things always come together last-minute. We’re working on a few things. I know that I might work with Ludacris again. That’s maybe a possibility, and he’s great — he’s one of my favorite rappers … and he’s amazing to work with."
Since he’s just begun working on the LP, he says there isn’t too much to say about it, "I just started, so there’s not much to tell. But you can expect something next year. It’s gonna be kind of a continuation of Departure, but maybe a little more R&B slightly. You’ll get the chance to hear what’s going on in my head right now and a little … more personal."
When asked about what it is that’s going through his head, he replies, "Well, a lot of stuff that’s going on in my personal life and my family life — just what it’s like having all this success now at the age of 22, kind of dealing with it and what that’s like.”
As for the album, "It’s a little bit more raw. But still rhythmic and upbeat. It’s still soulful. I’m still kind of writing it all out. I don’t want to give too much away."
Sounds good! Jesse tends to have some good tracks, so it should be interesting to see what he comes out with next!
