With the release of Jesse McCartney’s new single “Better With You” — his first new music since his well-received 2014 album ‘In Technicolor’ — it’s worth noting that the New York-born singer, songwriter, producer, and actor has had the kind of career that most young artists aspire to. With multiple platinum-selling tracks and a songwriting credit on Leona Lewis’s “Bleeding Love” under his belt, McCartney is ready to introduce his fans to who he is today.
His fans have been waiting almost four years since ‘In Technicolor,’ one of Spin Magazine’s Top Pop Albums of 2014. "It was a transitional time where I just let myself have some space from my career and get some perspective on life, something I really hadn’t had the freedom to do since I was 10. Then, a friend invited me to come to Nashville to do a songwriting camp for other artists,” McCartney recollects. “It triggered a huge surge in creative energy that led me to put this project and team together.” Now that he’s moving, McCartney has no intention of slowing down. He plans to release more music throughout 2018 and bring his dedicated fans along for the ride.
The deliberate attention McCartney pays to his craft is evident in the new songs he is gearing up to release this year, including “Better With You,” which he co-wrote with Brandyn Burnette, Molly Moore, and producer Rob Knox (Justin Timberlake, Rihanna). The acoustic-guitar-driven pop song is more sonically organic than the stylized, ’80s-inspired songs on In Technicolor and McCartney has re-vamped his visuals with art direction by Dewey Saunders (Anderson .Paak, Bridgit Mendler). “It feels fresh to me,” McCartney says. “This is a really strange time,” he says. “Things are contentious. I think a song about finding a safe place with a partner is an uplifting message.”
What a great concert Jesse puts on! His vibe and his stage presence just gets you going. The song choices were excelent, just enough oldies mixed in with the newer ones! The opening band was awesome too, very entertaining and fun! Been a Jesse McCartney fan since 2005 and I was very happy to be there witnessing his talent first hand and being able to meet him post show!! Definitely worth the price!
Jesse McCartney put on an amazing show, but the venue was very lackluster. Standing room only, with no actual room for the amount of people in the room to stand. Felt crammed and unsafe as the people were blocking the ways to the exits and standing in the hallways. I just feel like they way oversold and it dampened the experience for everyone.
This was my first concert and glad it was at HOB. /y only regret was not being able to snag those VIP seats when I had a chance! Will definitely comeback!
Jesse McCartney was great. I had a wonderful time.
Overall he did a great job. He sung a mix of the classics he has and the surprisingly good new stuff. Absolutely worth seeing again, especially when he is in a smaller venue
Jesse McCartney never disappoints!! He is soo fun to watch! He feeds off the crowd and makes every girls teenage heart melt!! I’ve loved him for 20+ years and have seen him a few times and I will continue to see him!! Soo good!’
Jesse put on one hell of a performance. It's been a childhood dream to see him in concert. I'm excited for when he comes back thank you jesse for making it memorable
I have been a fan of Jesse since I was so small. Getting to see him live and being so close to the stage was a dream come true! We waited 2 hours in line, it was cold, but so worth it! I love when artists play a smaller stand only venue! It’s more intimate and close, makes every minute worth it! Legitimately will never forget this experience!
Jesse McCartney was seriously amazing the check in and everything was seamless and I’m ready to go back
It was such a fun show. Jesse knows exactly what he’s doing up there! I already bought tickets for another show. I can’t get enough!
