JADE, IT girl | Song Review 🎵

English pop singer JADE brings mad confidence, and some satisfying shade to her entertaining pop single, “IT girl.”

[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”“T” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]hrow me them roses / Well, that’s just showbiz, baby / Won’t sugarcoat it / You make me feel si-si-si-sick.” English pop singer JADE (Jade Thirlwall), a member of Little Mix, lets the world know she is “IT girl”, PERIOD.  The two-and-a-half-minute-long single is filled with attitude, confidence, and sass.  Sleekly produced, Cirkut and LOSTBOY ‘put in work’ behind the boards. [/otw_shortcode_dropcap]

JADE delivers gorgeous, commanding lead vocals from the beginning. The intro is dramatic and lush.  The intro ends up being the pre-chorus, which contrasts the verses.  Following the intro, “IT girl” transforms into a sleek dance cut.  She brings it in the refrain asserting, “I am the it girl /… I am the shit girl.” Woo! She doesn’t play in the verses, either. “Put me on the pedestal, watch me dance / Dance to the beat till I can’t stand,” she sings in the first verse.  In the second, she sings, “My darling, you could never / You’ll never own me.” She’s a badass, independent woman! The chorus is fierce, too:

“I’m not your thing

I’m not your baby doll

No puppet on a string

This bitch can’t be controlled.”

Damn! “IT girl” is a surefire B-O-P from JADE.  Interestingly, the song earned attention for some shade thrown at Simon Cowell.  We love a shady bop!
