Her music is mostly upbeat, catchy, simple, melodic.

Most of Jessie J’s songs convey real meaning unlike most pop R&B songs today. For example, ‘... tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, just be true to who you are’ or ‘... why is everybody so obsessed, money can’t buy us happiness’. Her voice is powerful, strong, confident and clear. Jessie J’s voice and music is closely related to Christina Aguilera, Rita Ora and Leona Lewis.
