Let's see.
"Do It Like A Dude": Catchy as hell, but literally overflowing with slightly forced attitude, and dare I say it, a little try hard.
"Price Tag": Again, very catchy, but on first listen it sounds like a million songs you could've heard in 1998, draped over the oldest chord sequence there is. This one grows on you with time, particularly after you listen to the lyrics. But still, I need more convincing.
"Abracadabra": SOLD. Previewing the tracks of the upcoming Who You Are, this one jumps out of the speakers at you and slaps you with sheer joy. This is what one calls the perfect pop song. What other songs it sounds like is irrelevant: that leisurely piano hook, and Jessie's squeaky yelp is effortlessly addictive and that's all there is to it. For the first time in my listening habits, Jessie J has come out with something unpretentious and simple, and it's knocked my socks off. Maybe this is really "who she is". It's certainly who I want her to be.
