Ten months after came up a little short as runner-up on Season 11 of American Idol, 17-year-old diva-in-training Jessica Sanchez is back with a brand new club-tastic music video for her debut club-ready track, "Tonight," a club thumper featuring R&B prince Ne-Yo, who penned the track, will be served as the lead single from her forthcoming debut album, "Me, You and the Music," which is reported to be upbeat and high-energy and set to feature ballads but will exhibit "more of an R&B/Pop/Urban kind of feel," due out April 30 via Interscope.
Sanchez has a diva's voice a la Mariah Carey or Beyonce, but she's going the dance pop route on her super fresh uptempo, bubbly, dance tune, "Tonight," which teams the diminutive teenager with the very big voice with Ne-Yo on a snappy, dance-oriented song that draws equally from R&B and pop. Spoke of the song, Sanchez described it as "fun, clubby dancy song," and saying: "'Tonight' is a song about people that are usually stressed out, everybody has problems and everything, and 'Tonight' is a song about going out that night and having the best night of your life." Sanchez gives us another reason to vote for her outside of American Idol.
Well, we're happy to report this new track is much stronger than that clunky-ass ballad the show foisted upon her last season, "Change Nothing." They changed everything, with Sanchez and Ne-Yo turning out a fun, if by-the-numbers, dance-pop track. The video features the expected club footage and the unexpected Sanchez-busting-synchronized-moves footage. All in all, a pretty promising start for a teen reality show castoff. The California songstress wants to keep the momentum going, and we braced ourselves for a potential bomb!
The R&B hitmaker and the diminutive teenager singer bring their high energy to the dance floor and light up the club in the Justin Francis-directed dance-heavy visual, which revolves around the club theme. Sanchez and her friends go out to night club to dance their troubles away. There, party-goers will show off their best moves, and Sanchez will execute a choreography, and she obviously takes control of the record from beginning to end. Ne-Yo's ever-present fedora is there and is all confident in his supporting role to the up-and-coming petite pop-R&B singer, letting the young belter take the spotlight with her song-and-dance combo perhaps inspired by what her fellow "Idol" alum, judge Jennifer Lopez does a lot of.
