The story of Jessie J Feat. David Guetta
Why we feature this artist
A large voice finds a room built to its scale
LaserLight takes Jessie J's already expansive singing into an openly electronic setting. The recording belongs to the extended Who You Are period, with David Guetta sharing the artist billing and writing credit. It puts a very physical dance rhythm beneath a singer who rarely sounds interested in holding back, giving her vocal intensity a clear place to go.
The voice stays in the foreground
Jessie J's performance moves quickly from direct phrasing into broader, more forceful notes. The arrangement leaves enough separation around the lead for those changes to remain audible. A large synthesiser setting could easily flatten the personality of a singer; here the vocal keeps its grain and its insistence.
The original credits name the Invisible Men in production and recording, with Guetta, Frédéric Riesterer and Giorgio Tuinfort among the writers alongside Jessie and the other collaborators. That construction joins a pop songwriting team to the musical language associated with a Guetta feature, while leaving the singer as the main human presence.
The chorus wants a collective response
The refrain expands through a clear rise in energy, making the move from a closer vocal passage to a larger electronic release easy to follow. The production gives the listener a strong sense of when the next change is arriving, and Jessie supplies enough vocal force to make that arrival feel earned.
The recording appears in the Platinum Edition of Who You Are, broadening the debut album's range of pop settings. LaserLight is most convincing when the scale of the backing and the scale of the voice seem to match. The singer sounds at home in the brightness rather than reduced to a short hook inside it.
