Jessie J. releases the video for Bang Bang ft. Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande from her album Sweet Talker. The video is directed by Hannah Lux Davis and features Minaj rapping and dancing on a rooftop helicopter landing pad.

Jesssie J:

I heard it and was like: “If I don’t record this, I’m an idiot.” I went in the studio that day and recorded it, sent it to Max Martin with some of my changes and obviously I put my vocal down on it. He phoned me and was like, ‘I want to get Ariana on it’, and I was like, ‘I think this is an amazing idea’. And then Nicki heard it and wanted to jump on it, so in an instant it was obviously the first single.

Seacrest interviews Grande during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about what she wants her second single to be released.

I did a song with Zedd, who I just met for the first time. I really want that to be the second single. My whole team is like, ‘Oh, it’s too early to pick a new single,’ but I’m really I love that song so much. He’s fantastic and the song is really fun, and it’s very different for me especially.

Seacrest interviews Grande during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her single Problem. 

I’m so excited about it. As for the song’s “bipolar” message of a love-hate relationship, Ariana adds, “I feel like once you get to that point, it’s either you break up or you just work it out and you stay for a while.

ariana-grande-cosmo-feb-2014-coverGrande appears on the cover of the February 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. She talks about being a positive role model, her first date with boyfriend Nathan and making a name for herself.

I never really expected to be taken seriously as an artist, and it’s just been the ultimate, proudest achievement. I’ve dealt with a lot of people not knowing what to expect from me because of my age and my personality. People often mistake my kindness for weakness, and they didn’t expect much from me, because at the end of the day, I’m just a nice Italian girl from Boca.

It sounded funny to hear ‘we all so turnt up’ in an operatic voice. I was making myself laugh so hard. I think I find myself funnier than everybody else might.
