SAMANTHA JADE : Secret

For a few weeks now, we’ve been hearing about this desperately attractive young woman with a killer voice and a brand new single ‘Secret’, but we’ve known nothing about it nor the singer, Samantha Jade. So we’ve done some searching and what we’ve discovered is a young lady from Perth with an incredible pop pedigree. At just 16 years of age, Jade was snapped up by local label Affinity West Records after being spotted singing at a backyard barbecue and subsequently signed to the all-conquering Jive Records in the United States, where she honed her craft as a singer-songwriter, working alongside some of the biggest names in the business (how’s Babyface, Timbaland, Max Martin, David Guetta and Rodney Jerkins grab you?).
Following on from Samantha’s decision to leave Jive Records last year to pursue a career as an independent, and contributing a track to David Guetta’s new album, she’s been furiously at work on her own debut album and the first taster from it is the Swedish-produced single ‘Secret’ which is now at local radio.
The clip is rather well-produced too. Samantha seems to have a little crush on a handsome Eurasian gentleman who she suspects has a little ‘secret’ (great name for a song) and she sets about teasing and tantalising him with her beguiling female wares to see if he’ll pop. Does he? You’ll have to watch to find out.
