Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj - Bang Bang | Single Review

Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj "Bang Bang" World Premiere July 29



2014 has already seen Shakira and Rihanna join forces to deliver an unlikely and random collaboration. Following in their footsteps, Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj have all teamed up for their new single “Bang Bang”. However an unlikely partnership is where the similarities between “Bang Bang” and “Can’t Remember to Forget You” stop, as “Bang Bang” isn’t a disappointing disaster.

Surprisingly, it works. Jessie J and Ariana Grande are undoubtedly two of the best pop vocalists to emerge over the past few years. And it is a delight on “Bang Bang” to hear the two do what they do best. Sing!

After the release of her commercially unsuccessful 2nd studio album “Alive” – “Bang Bang” has proven everyone wrong who might’ve though Jessie J had nothing worthwhile left to offer.

Even though when the song finishes you may be a little confused as to what the trio are trying to address - it won’t matter. The catchy collaboration will certainly be stuck in your head from the moment you hear it.

The icing on the cake is Nicki Minaj’s rap, which confirms “Bang Bang” to be the sassiest single of 2014 thus far. With Jessie J being Blossom, Ariana being Bubbles and Nicki being Buttercup the trio are like the singing Powerpuff Girls. Girl Power!





Overview: “Bang Bang” is sassy and sweet song but with no real substance, it’s like using the world’s most powerful gun but firing blanks.




Rating: 3.5


Bang Bang is available to download on iTunes worldwide.
