"Calling All Hearts" - DJ Cassidy featuring Jessie J and Robin Thicke

This song has been performing well on the charts here:


It's "Calling All Hearts" by DJ Cassidy featuring Jessie J and Robin Thicke. DJ Cassidy has been active on the music scene for several years: he was discovered by Sean Combs a few years ago and two of his notable works as a disc jockey were at Beyoncé and Jay-Z's wedding in 2008 and President Barack Obama's inauguration in 2009.

It's unfortunate that Thicke's comeback last year was with "Blurred Lines" rather than this song. "Calling All Hearts" is a vastly superior piece of music to "Blurred Lines" and doesn't come with any of the latter's controversy. While the music video features dancing women, they are not being exploited like in the "Blurred Lines" video and dancing men are present, too. As Jessie J is featured both on the track and in the video, I hope that she would had to have given her approval for any of the content.

"Calling All Hearts" is a fantastic debut single from DJ Cassidy: it features Jessie J and Robin Thicke singing at their best and it brings DJ Cassidy into the public eyes of pop music. I hope to hear more from him in the future.

  1. Agreed, I have no idea why Robin Thicke chose "Blurred Lines," but I guess it's popular with some people. Dad thinks it's a catchy song, but I think the beat and not the message. ::shrug::

    1. It's popular with a lot of people; you'd be surprised (or maybe not) how many women I've heard request the song.

      I like the melody, the beat and the sound of Thicke's/Pharrell's vocals in "Blurred Lines" but not the lyrics themselves. With "Calling All Hearts", though, I like all of it!
