Jesse McCartney
In April 2008, Jesse McCartney was on Rap-Up.com to promote his re-release of his third CD, Departure and had a lot to say about musical inspiration, eating junk food and Miss Toni Braxton. Check out what he had to say:
On the inspiration behind his latest album, Departure: “The songs definitely have to do with a certain girl. Makes for good songwriting.”
On his eating habits: “I eat way too much junk food out on the road. I come back like 10 pounds heavier and out of shape. When I’m home, I try to eat healthy, try to take care…I love sushi. I like comfort food too. When I’m on the road, I’m eating pizza and chicken and all sorts of bad fried food. Fast food, the worst kind you can eat. When I’m home, I try to do a lot of cooking and I eat as healthy as I can.”
On teaming up with Toni Braxton: “I did a record for Toni Braxton called ‘My Ring’s Too Heavy.’ Three weeks later, Beyoncé came out with a record called ‘Single Ladies’ and it sort of has a hand and a ring theme behind it. No offense to Beyoncé, I think Toni’s is a little bit better in my opinion, but we’ll have to see what the charts do.
Jesse McCartney has managed to rise with the stars in both his music and his acting career.
The release of his new album, Departure, has put Jesse in the spotlight again.
Due for official release on May 20 in North America, Jesse McCartney tracks from the album are already hitting the airwaves. “Leavin’”, a single from the album has already hit the top 20 on the Billboard pop singles chart. Jesse promises that fans will find a new sound in this album, his third since 2003, and apparently a ‘departure’ from his previous work.
The 21 year old McCartney is also a day-time soap opera star. Jesse was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for his work on All My Children from 1998 to 2001.
The future is indeed looking bright for young star Jesse McCartney.
