UP AND RUNNING

In 'Up and Running,' 15-year-old newcomer Jessica Jarrell croons about being ready jump into a new, exciting relationship, telling her man, "This right here's a classic, you goin' have to have it / If we get it running we can party 'till the sun comes up." Over strobing backbeats, the track is accessorized with Jarrell's Rhianna-sounding "Aye, Aye"s and rap interludes by recent solo artist and Gym Class Heroes MC Travie McCoy. Jarrell's R&B pop sound is a perfect asset to Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 tour, which kicked off this week, on June 23. Featured as the tour's opening act, Jarrell also sings alongside the Canadian pop star on 'Overboard,' the song that originally made a name for herself.
'Up and Running' is off her debut album -- expected out sometime later this year, hopefully this summer -- and follows her first single, 'Almost Love (24/7).' To hear Jarrell's new single, tune into AOL Radio's New Pop First station.
