Mark’s Quickie Pop Music Review: “Battlefield” by Jordin Sparks
Battlefield is the title track from Jordin Sparks’ second album. At first listen, you definately know this song will be a top seller. To me it has that same pop hook that many other songs of the same calibre have, but still has that kind of power that a singer like Jordin Sparks can pull off. The chorus where Jordin chants “like a battlefield” just brings it home for me, the harmonies sound amazing. The sonic narrative (the relation of the words to the music and how the lyrics are interpreted) feels genuine, you can hear the emotion that Jordin is trying to portray in a song like this. Hinging off the success of Jordin’s previous tracks like “No Air” and “Tattoo”, “Battlefield” is a song in my opinion that will become one of 2009’s top selling pop songs.
