Jordin Sparks: Wango Tango 2011 Arrival!

Jordin Sparks is all smiles at KIIS FM’s Wango Tango 2011 at Staples Center on Saturday (May 14) in Los Angeles.

The 21-year-old singer wore an orange Joie dress and chatted with JustJared.com about her new album before enjoying the show.

“I’m still working on it,” Jordin told JJ. “These past six months I’ve just really been trying to figure out what I want to give to my fans. I want it to be something that they can chew on and digest, something new, and not what I’ve put out before but not so farfetched either.

On her new single “I Am Woman“: “When Ryan Tedder brought it to me, my mouth dropped to the floor and I was so excited about it. Me and him are both perfectionist so we had seven different mixes of the song before we got to the final version that is out now. We got it perfect and I’m really excited about it.”

FYI: Jordin designed two bags for 1154 LILL Studio. From now until May 31, $10 will be donated to The M.A.D. Girls Foundation for every bag purchased!

JJ: How many songs have you recorded?

JS: We’ve recorded about eleven but there all so different, I need to find a way to make things sound cohesive and make sure they match. I’m still getting new songs and recording new stuff so will see how it goes.

JJ: Are we going to hear anything unexpected?

JS: There’s a song that’s more dance influenced with a club sound, like a club/house vibe. Then there’s a song that’s just a ballad with my vocals over a piano that I worked on with John Legend called “Hands.” We worked on it earlier this year and it’s a beautiful ballad. I’m not sure yet but we might be putting strings on it. It goes ‘My hand in your hand, holding on forever, keeping each other close.’ It’s really really sweet but haunting at the same time.
