Artist : Jesse McCartney
Title : Body Language
Album : Departure - Recharged

Biasanya alasan yang dikeluarkan oleh seorang artis ketika merepackaged sebuah album adalah untuk menaikkan penjualannya. Kasus ini sudah banyak sekali terjadi. Apa yang terjadi dengan Album Departure milik Jesse McCartney? Banyak yang mengatakan albumnya tidak sebagus “Right Here You To Want Me” yang dirilis tahun 2006. salah satu alasannya adalah album ini terdengar monoton, kecuali track “Leavin” yang dirilis sebagai single perdana dari album Departure. Walaupun track “Bleeding Love” yang ditulisnya untuk Leona Lewis dirilis sebagai bonus track di beberapa negara, tetap tidak bisa mendongkrak penjualan album ini.

Kegiatan Jesse McCartney di tahun 2009 bisa dikatakan cukup sibuk. Wajahnya bisa dilihat melalui televisi dalam serial “Greek” yang diluncurkan oleh stasiun televisi ABC. Serial yang berkisah mengenai kehidupan mahasiswa di Amerika ini, Jesse berperan sebagai Andy. Dia bermain dengan actor Scott Michael Foster. Selain di serial “Greek”, Jesse juga ikut dalam pembuatan sebuah drama yang diproduksi oleh Warner Bros yang berjudul “Summerland”

Nah, apa yang ditawarkan dalam album Departure:Recharged ini? Ada 4 track tambahan Body Language (ditulis sendiri oleh Jesse McCartney), In My Veins (Jesse McCartney & The Movement), Oxygen (Eric Hudson for Just E. Production Group), Crash and Burn (Brian Kennedy for Team BK) termasuk track “How Do You Sleep” yang di remix oleh Sean Garret plus menampilkan pula sang pemenang Grammy Awards, Ludacrics. Track ini dikatakan bisa menjadi jaminan orang akan membeli (lagi) album ini, karena sentuhan yang baru dari Ludacrics. Jesse sendiri ketika ditanya mengenai kesan bekerja sama dengan Ludacrics, hanya bisa berkata,

“I've been a fan of Luda's throughout his career, and working with him was an amazing honor. He's innovative across the board and always brings the freshest lyrics to any track."

Album Departure:Recharged akan dirilis tanggal 7 april 2009 dan akan menampilkan track “Body Language” sebagai track andalan. Mendengarkan track ini seakan-akan mendengarkan episode lain dari track “Leavin”. Maksudnya, beat yang ditawarkan sama. Playful. Ini bisa menjadi resep andalan sebenarnya, karena membuat track-tracknya menjadi earfriendly. Walaupun kita akan kehilangan nuansa pop dari track “Best Day Of My Life” ataupun “Beautiful Soul”. Penempatan bahasa Prancis dan Bahasa Jepang dalam track ini seakan mempertegas bahwa terkadang “body language” bisa menjadi penanda lebih tegas daripada bahasa verbal. Dengan adanya “konichiwa” dan “Parlez vous francais?” membuat track ini menjadi lebih terdengar lucu. Hanya perlu mendengarkan satu kali sampai kata-kata “body language” terngiang-ngiang di kepala.

Jesse McCartney : Body Language
Ooo, that body's like music to my ear
Ooo, that body's like music to my ear
Ooo, that body's like music to my ear
'Cause what you want is right here

Oh she, oh she so international
The way, the way she get it on the floor
I'm tryin', I'm tryin' to holler at you
I want to get to know you better

Parlez vous francais?
Konichiwa
Come and move in my way
Hey, little chica from Guadeloupe
That thing you got behind you is amazing

Now, I don't speak Spanish, Japanese or French
But the way that body's talkin' definitely makes sense
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
The way she moves around
When she grinds to the beat
Breaking it down articulately
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
It's her, her body, her body, her body

That make me want to say hey...('ey!)
Hey...('ey!)
Hey...('ey!)
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
C'mon

Shorty, let me whisper in your ear
Tell you everything you wanna hear
You got my vote: Hottest Girl of the Year
Let's have a celebration, baby

Parlez vous francais?
Konichiwa
Come and move in my way
Hey, little chica from Guadeloupe
That thing you got behind you is amazing

Now, I don't speak Spanish, Japanese or French
But the way that body's talkin' definitely makes sense
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
The way she moves around
When she grinds to the beat
Breaking it down articulately
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
It's her, her body, her body, her body

That make me want to say hey...('ey!)
Hey...('ey!)
Hey...('ey!)
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
C'mon

I'm lifting up my voice to say
You're the hottest girl in the world today
The way you shake
You got me losing my mind
You're banging like a speakerbox
Turn around; the party stops
Universal lady, let me take you away

Now, I don't speak Spanish, Japanese or French
But the way that body's talkin' definitely makes sense now
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
It's the way she moves around
When she grinds to the beat
Breaking it down articulately
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
It's her, her body, her body, her body

You make me want to say hey...('ey!)
Hey...('ey!)
Hey...('ey!)
It's her, her body, body, body language
C'mon

Ooo, that body's like music to my ear
Ooo, that body's like music to my ear
Ooo, that body's like music to my ear
'Cause what you want is right here

Sekarang pertanyaannya, ditambahkan kombinasi Sean Garret plus Ludacrics mampukah membuat Departure:Recharged menjadi lebih baik di industri musik?
