Jessie J hates listening to herself sing if she's being quite honest

  • June 3, 2013
  • Sam Hine

Jessie J newJessie J really doesn't like hearing herself sing.

She isn't the only one, 'LOL'.

We're joking of course.

The 'My Shadow' chanteuse opened up about this dislike of her own vocals to Radio 1 (quoted here) noting: "I don't like listening to myself sing. It's weird listening to your own song, you'll be in Burger King or a theme park and you cringe."

"At [a recent Morocco] festival I went to listen to Rihanna though," she reassured us. "I like hearing her."

Fascinating. Any inform­a­tion about that new album of yours Corno?

"I started writing this record on the last season of The Voice and it took up much more time than I thought. We recorded nine songs in six days about four weeks ago. I don't feel like I've had time to relax and get into album mode but I think that can be a blessing, I'm a 12–6pm kind of chick."
