We’re continuing our countdown of our favourite pop moments of 2017 with our Pop Single Of 2017 : No.08!
And this time around it’s a home-grown pop star who takes the spoils.
Hot on the heels of you guys deeming this the Pop Single Of The Year, we’ve decided that it most definitely needs a showing in our top ten of 2017.
Plucked from the soundtrack of the second season of Channel 7’s ‘The Secret Daughter’ (which has essentially become a visual vehicle for Jess’s music career), ‘Fallin’ was a pretty classy affair.
As Jess has been doing of late, she’s been moving away from the cookie cutter dance/pop of the past and venturing in a more soulful, more mature direction.
Some of her attempts to do so (‘Gotcha’, ‘Risk It’) haven’t fired. Others (‘This Ain’t Love’, ‘Can I Get A Moment’) have fared better. You can add ‘Fallin’ to the latter list.
Released back in June, the single has since notched up double platinum sales (in excess of 140,000 units), meaning it’s her most successful single commercially since ‘Inescapable’ way back in 2011.
Stripped back, soulful and perfectly showcasing her impressive vocals, ‘Fallin’ was a hit.
And it’s our No.08 Pop Single Of 2017.
