music, Musica, Samantha Jade - Nine (Album)

Nine is the second studio album by Australian singer Samantha Jade, released through Sony Music Australia on 20 November 2015. It is her first album of completely original material.

The album’s title, and title track, Nine is a reference to the nine years between releasing her debut single, “Step Up”, and finally achieving her goal of releasing her first album of original material. Jade further explains the meaning behind the title; “When I wrote ‘Nine’, I wanted to get a sense of positivity in even the darkest moments so it came with the reference of being on cloud 9 or a cat with nine lives. The number 9 has also always been important in our family, and our birth dates have some sort of connection with it too. The song is very organic in that sense and directly from my heart.”

Tracklist:

 1. Always
2. Naked
3. Wait for It
4. What You Want
5. Only Just Begun
6. Shake That (feat. Pitbull)
7. Show Me Love
8. Let the Good Times Roll
9. Castle
10. Born to Be Alive
11. Nine
