I’ve loved Miss Jessie James since she treated me to a guilty pleasure song called “Wanted”. And after I wore that out, I discovered “Guilty” on the old Imeem music network (RIP, *glares at MySpace*). While the latter still resides in my iTunes 25 Most Played tracks, I’ve just added another song to my iPod, Jessie’s latest, “When You Say My Name”, which she recently performed at a Denver Broncos halftime show, and announced on her newly redesigned website.

Take a listen below:

I’ve struggled with the decision on whether or not I’d continue to follow Jessie’s career due to the fact that she decided to ditch the pop portion of her repertoire and focus soley on country music. (much like Josh Kelley) Now y’all know how I feel about country music. If not, let me break it down: I’m not really a fan. I can handle some, but it’s mostly the crossover stuff. If pop radio won’t play it, I’m probably not gonna enjoy it.

Due to how incredible I feel Jessie’s voice is, she has managed to keep me interested, so we’ll see how this goes when the single is released to iTunes on January 31st. I’ll need to hear it in HQ before really deciding how I feel. For now, I think it’s a cute track and it’s obvious Jessie is very much in love with her man, Denver Broncos Wide Receiver, Eric Decker.
