BREAKING: Jessie J is ready to start writing and recording her next album

BRACE YOURSELVES: 'Masterpiece' hitmaker and indis­crim­in­ate brand advocate JJJJJJessie 'Cornish' J is ready to start making another album.

Having a chat on Live With Kelly (as quoted here), ostens­ibly about her role in the new Ice Age movie, J also had some things to say about returning to The Voice in Australia.

“I love doing the show,” she mused. “I’ve done four seasons – two in the UK and two in Sydney. But I just need to make another album.”

Is it really time-consuming though? Does she get to the point where she's in the chair and she just wants to sing?

"It’s really time-consuming, and if I’m honest with you, I get to the point where I’m in the chair, and I just want to sing. 'I want to tell you how to make it better, I want to coach you, but I want to make it a duet'."

If she could sum these frus­tra­tions up in a neat phrase that offers the potential for both pain and pleasure, what would she say?

"I’m ready to write another album."

Meanwhile, talking about her Oscar buzz gen­er­at­ing role as Brooke in Ice Age: Collision Course, JJ added:

“I did an hour’s audition and tried to find a voice they liked. I don’t want to get it because of the music I’ve done. I want to get it because I deserve it."

So there we are.
