Jesse McCartney premiered his “Body Language” music video earlier last month and recently sat down with PopEater to chat all about it.
The 22-year-old musician dished on working with T-Pain, Alicia Keys and how he keeps himself grounded. Check it:
On shooting the behind-the-scenes video: “It’s kind of just off the cuff. It was one of those things that just accidentally happened. [T-Pain and I] were in Miami and we worked on the song together. We brought … a hand-held, behind-the-scenes type video camera … to just come in a shoot us working together in the studio, just really kind of cas[usal]. And it became this really fun intimate video that shows what it’s like behind the scenes. And you know, we cut a lot of stuff, a lot of footage that I had taken myself on the road last year, touring, performing that song live in front of the fans. The song live is just explosive and it makes a really entertaining video. And we just sort of put that all together and it’s just a montage of a lot of fun bits.”
On who he’d like to collaborate with next: “It’s really hard to say, I’ve really always wanted to, especially in the last year or so, I’ve always wanted to do something with John Legend or Alicia Keys, something a little more R&B, a little bit more soulful and that’s like a goal of mine. So maybe who knows, maybe next album.”
On being thankful for the team behind him: “I just have a really great support system and an amazing team behind me. I’m sort of the face of this operation and there’s … dozens of people working behind me to make it all run and work successfully so I owe a lot of it to them.”
