JESSE MCCARTNEY: ALL’S WELL TOUR

All Ages
Jesse McCartney has cracked an untapped code for himself—a code for promoting joy and
wellbeing. The pop star’s pursuit of radical defiance refuses to stick to anyone’s expectations.
His followup to 2021’s New Stage, All’s Well (due March TK, 2024) is a fun, supple, and
fascinating step on the multi-talented multi-hyphenate’s journey of expressing a true self beyond
the expectations and demands—equal parts vintage Hall and Oates, postmodern swag, and
honeymoon sincerity packaged in that undeniable McCartney charm.
McCartney has spent the last two and a half decades evolving in the public eye, from kicking off
with boy band Dream Street, launching a solo career teeming with nostalgic hits, landing
memorable TV and film roles, and even became an award-winning video game voice actor. As a
solo artist, he rapidly established himself as a pop smash: His solo debut went platinum, he’s
had Gold and Platinum singles both in the US and internationally, and even co-wrote a
quadruple-platinum, Grammy-nominated single for Leona Lewis. Through it all, he’s worked to
conjure a future he could really revel in, something truly his own rather than any trite, traditional
pop career.
With All’s Well, McCartney continues that quest with a vengeance, four tracks that carry through
that instantly recognizable voice but reach new soulful, swanky depths. McCartney teamed with
producer Morgan Taylor Reid for three of the tracks, including lead single “Faux Fur”, taking the
initial sketches and pushing them to their horn, string, and synth-laden glory via live band.
Elsewhere, the EP’s second single, The Eleven-produced “Make a Baby”, is a pitch-perfect
blend of ‘00s Timbaland beat-making and modern pop R&B flow, with pop rap sensation Yung
Gravy offering a verse on an alternate version.
Throughout, All’s Well finds McCartney relishing the freedom he’s found as an independent
artist over his last two records. “I’ve discovered that there’s no rules and I’m capable of doing
everything,” he says. “I tend to care less about what people think now, because at the end of the
day you have to be proud of what you’ve done, and the things you’ve made. Now I understand
what authenticity means to me.”
