British singer Jessie J will land in Shenzhen for her R.O.S.E Tour this week. The tour is the sixth concert tour by Jessie J, in support of her fourth studio album, “R.O.S.E.” Although Jessie J was first identified as a soul singer, she primarily records R&B and pop songs with hip-hop influences. Music critic Matthew Perpetua of Pitchfork Media compared Jessie J to sultry pop icons Adele and Amy Winehouse. Jessie J has garnered various awards and nominations for her music, including the 2011 Critics’ Choice Brit Award and the BBC’s Sound of 2011. She has served as a coach and mentor on the television shows “The Voice U.K.” and “The Voice Australia.” After signing with Universal Republic, Jessie J came to prominence following the release of her debut single “Do It Like a Dude.” Her next song “Price Tag” topped the charts in 19 countries and was followed by the release of her debut album “Who You Are” (2011), which charted at No. 2 in Britain. In 2012, Jessie J performed at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Concert outside Buckingham Palace in June, as well as at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
