With the release of Jesse McCartney’s new single “Better With You” — his first new music since his well-received 2014 album ‘In Technicolor’ — it’s worth noting that the New York-born singer, songwriter, producer, and actor has had the kind of career that most young artists aspire to. With multiple platinum-selling tracks and a songwriting credit on Leona Lewis’s “Bleeding Love” under his belt, McCartney is ready to introduce his fans to who he is today.
His fans have been waiting almost four years since ‘In Technicolor,’ one of Spin Magazine’s Top Pop Albums of 2014. "It was a transitional time where I just let myself have some space from my career and get some perspective on life, something I really hadn’t had the freedom to do since I was 10. Then, a friend invited me to come to Nashville to do a songwriting camp for other artists,” McCartney recollects. “It triggered a huge surge in creative energy that led me to put this project and team together.” Now that he’s moving, McCartney has no intention of slowing down. He plans to release more music throughout 2018 and bring his dedicated fans along for the ride.
The deliberate attention McCartney pays to his craft is evident in the new songs he is gearing up to release this year, including “Better With You,” which he co-wrote with Brandyn Burnette, Molly Moore, and producer Rob Knox (Justin Timberlake, Rihanna). The acoustic-guitar-driven pop song is more sonically organic than the stylized, ’80s-inspired songs on In Technicolor and McCartney has re-vamped his visuals with art direction by Dewey Saunders (Anderson .Paak, Bridgit Mendler). “It feels fresh to me,” McCartney says. “This is a really strange time,” he says. “Things are contentious. I think a song about finding a safe place with a partner is an uplifting message.”

This event was amazing!! You bet I'll be there next year! Every performer did an amazing job!! Even Flo-Rida had the adults outta their seats!!!
i loved it, it would have been better. if i got better seats!
JESSE IS MY LIFE. SEEING HIM WAS UNBELIEVABLE.I HAVE FOLLOWED HIM FROM CONCERT TO CONCERT HIS LAST TOUR. I COULDN,T WAIT TO SEE HIM AGAIN.I AM SOO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE HIM ON HIS OWN TOUR SOON. FLO-RIDA WAS SOO GOOD . I FOLLOWED HIM ALL AROUND THE AISLES. I TOUCHED HIM AND GOT A CLOSE-UP PICTURE. CAN,T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CONCERT.
The only performers worth going to the concert for were Auburn and Flo Rida. They both connected with the audience so well! Flo Rida even through out his own clothing and roses to the audience and walked through the floor seats to meet people! Miranda Cosgrove was awful and we all left before the concert was over, because of her.
I took my 8 yr old daughter to the Jingle Ball Thursday night at the Giant Center in Hershey. The show was filled with a lot of fun, excitement, and pre-holiday spirit for the kids and young teens. Emily Osment helped host the event as several teen celebrities took the stage and did a wonderful job of performing their hit songs. Overall the show went well but there seemed to be too much down time in between acts at the beginning and it caused everything to drag out later than expected. Of course Jesse McCartnety and Miranda Cosgrove where the final acts so you had to be there till the end.
I took my daughter to see the Jingle Ball last Thursday evening. We had a great time. I thought Flo Rida was a little raw especially for the younger crowd in attendance, but my daughter did enjoy him. Auburn was good, and Charice was a trooper performing with a bum foot - her voice is incredible!! Miranda Cosgrove was also good, however she only sang 3 songs. By FAR, Jesse McCartney was the absolute best performer of the night. They said that he was a little under the weather, but you would've never known it. He played at least 8 songs, some old, some new and my daughter and I had the best time when he was on stage. She has been waiting so long to see him as he doesn't tour much and is thrilled that he has a new album coming out. He played to the audience and really looked like he was having a great time on stage. We hope that he starts touring with his new album and will definitely go see him again! The only thing that I would criticize is that there was a painfully long intermission between each performer with really no reason. No equipment was changed on stage. It made what should have probably been a 2 - 2 1/2 hour experience a 4 hour one. Really no need for that. All in all though I would recommend the Jingle Ball to others. (Thanks Jesse for making the show!!!!!)
it was a really good show. to much of a break in between acts. was disappointed that miranda cosgrove only sang 4 songs my kids really wanted to see her.
Flo Rida was by far the best band there. I was disappointed that Miranda Cosgrove closed because she did not seem to be the biggest hit. All bands were fun. The intermissions though were too long in between
Whoever directed this event should lose his job! I have never seen such a poorly run show. 25 - 30 minutes between acts? Are you serious? Even after the first act (Auburn, who by the way was great-she knew she had the challenge of starting off a show & getting the crowd pumped & handled it very well) had only done 3 songs & then a 25 minute break? The DJ didn't fill the dead air for 10 full minutes! So uncool. And even when he figured out he had to be "on" between acts, he didn't mix well....I was cringing as I waited for him to bring a tune up to speed so it was in the right key. Let's talk about the "Guest host"??? I had to keep asking her name because she was so forgettable! Somebody got ripped off if they paid for standing up there, nodding her head to agree with the radio guys & looking cold, bored & tired. And when she finally did take the mic, she had nothing to add nor could you hear her voice because she didn't bother to project well. Charice, Flo rida, & Jesse were incredible, but when Miranda Cosgrove opened her mouth and a croaky voice came out obviously from a terrible chest cold - not her fault of course, but I was not willing to stay and listen to it. I am still in shock that she had top billing. The GIANT Center is a nice place to see an event, easy to get in & out of, clean, tons of security, good food. I imagine the talent (Flo rida, Jesse) were insulted by all the problems with this event & you better pray to get anyone famous back to this mess of an event.
GREAT show!!! The performers were all terrific starting with Auburn and Charice then Flo-rida got the party REALLY pumping!!! Jesse and his dancers were a very polished and entertaining performance also. Then Miranda was very classy and sounded wonderful with her songs and her dancers also. Cody Simpson's guest appearance with Flo-rida was awesome too! And of course, DJ Freeze kept the party pumpin with his music between performers, thank goodness! It seemed to take a little too long between performers but wasnt completely irritating since he kept some good tunes going! Overall a very entertaining show although not a sell-out like the one in Camden, NJ the night before. I think that is because Justin Bieber was there. Anyway, this was definitely worth going to and I would go again if it comes back to Hershey again next year!
Great event for kids and adults. Flo Rida was the best performer, second was Jesse McCartney.
Amazing concert! Flo Rida fantastic! Jesse is sooooooo hot! Atmosphere was electric!
I really enjoyed myself at this concert, my daughter and experienced this as our first concert together. Definately would attend another Jingle Ball. Flo Rida was our favorite. Just wish that we had better seats and back stage access.
show was too long, too many breaks between singers
Miranda Cosgrove was fabulous. We had a terrific time and Flo Rida put on a great show!! My two daughters loved it.
for the most part, this concert was enjoyable. It was fun to see several different artists in one night. There was lots of down time between acts tho, not sure why? Use that time to go to the bathroom or get snacks. If you have smaller children it is best to get the side stadium seating. We were 9th row from the stage with floor seating and could not see at all! My son is 10 and had to stand on the chair to see. His favorite act was Jessie McCartney and also loved seeing Miranda Cosgrove in person! She looks the same as on I Carly! Emily Osment was the host but it would have been nice to see more of her or even hear her sing just one song. All of the artists did a good job and so cool of Charice to perform even tho she was on crutches!
If one must be roped into a tween-set concert, this is the one to attend. A nice variety of performers and TV personalities [(Miranda Cosgrove (ICarly), Charice (Glee)] for a four-hour show. You'll get your money's worth paying for better or best seats, since performers sing mostly well-known tunes in sets of five to seven songs. You get a little holiday music, but not too much. Be forewarned that breaks between performers tend to be 15-20 minutes long. Don't be looking for big production either; the set is bare bones, and only Miranda Cosgrove brought out a band. Jesse McCartney and Miranda Cosgrove had dancers who were entertaining to watch...in some respects, better than the acts themselves. However, FLO RIDA was the star of the night, with his old school rap swagger, ladies' man act. He had the longest set with the best-known songs.
The concert was great! Flo Rida & Jesse McCartney were the best preformers.
It was a great concert...all of the performers were awesome! my only complaint was that they had 15 min intermissions in between each singer! which took So long! The concert ended up being 3 1/2 hours long!!! I saw no need in so many breaks!
A great night for the entire family! The girls (ages 9 and 11) loved the mystery guest Cory Simpson. They opener (Auburn) did a great job warming up the crowd. Flo Rida was amazing! He seemed very aware that he was performing for a young crowd and kept things unbelievably clean and appropriate. Charice was adorable. Even though she was on crutches, she came out and wowed the crowd with her strong vocals. Jesse drove the kids crazy. They loved him! Very dynamic performer. Emily Osmet was cute, did a nice job of hosting but I think the kids would have liked to hear at least one song from her. She did not sing. The headliner was Miranda Cosgrove (she went last). She probably should have gone earlier as she was not quite as dynamic as the other performers. People started to leave shortly after she began performing. Would not pay to see Miranda Cosgrove again...good on I Carly, not so great on stage. Overall a great night for us and the kids!!!!
