Alive is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Jessie J. It was released on 23 September 2013 through Lava Music and Universal Republic. American rap artist Becky G, singer Brandy, American hip-hop artist Big Sean and British grime artist Dizzee Rascal all make guest appearances on the album. Jessie co-wrote the album with Claude Kelly, amongst a host of collaborators from both new and old.
Upon release, the album was met with a mixed reception of music critics. While there was praise for Jessie's vocals, some felt that the album was too generic. Musically, Alive is a pop and R&B record that features influences from dance-pop, pop rock, soul and hip hop in its production.
The album debuted and peaked at number three on the UK Albums Chart. It spawned two top-five hits including "Wild" and "It's My Party", as well as a top-twenty single, "Thunder". Jessie supported Alive with the Alive Tour, playing 19 dates across the UK, from October to November 2013.
