Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox song
"Hush Hush" is a song by American recording artist Alexis Jordan, taken from her self-titled debut album (2011). It was released as the album's third single on June 10, 2011. The dance-pop song was written by Autumn Rowe, Stargate and Sandy Vee. Alexis called the song "feisty" and that it was a song that "unleashes a fiery side of her personality".
Background
Speaking in May 2011 to urban writer Pete Lewis of Blues & Soul, Jordan described the lyrical background to the song: "It's really dealing with the situation where - if you've been hurt, or someone's treated you wrong or cheated on you in a relationship - you're basically saying 'Be quiet! I don't wanna hear it! I'm gonna move ON!'... So what I particularly liked about the song is that it's a very powerful statement for anybody who's been in that kind of situation."[1]
Production
"Hush Hush" is written by Autumn Rowe, StarGate and Sandy Vee, and it was produced by Stargate and Sandy Vee.[2] When premiering the song with Digital Spy, Jordan discussed the song. "The thing I love about this track is that it has a dance beat that is irresistible. You can't not dance to it! It's also quite fierce and feisty, but in a fun and positive way."[3] Discussing the recording process of the record, she insisted: "It was a very calm and fun process. I was always in the studio smiling! It was something that I felt so blessed to be doing - it never felt like a chore. I am thankful to the whole team around me though, we mesh very well together."[3]
Reception
Critical reception
BBC Music described the production as "clattery", while praising the strength and soul in Jordan's vocals as "empowering".[4] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song four stars out of five and wrote, ""Hush, hush, hush/ You know I'm coming for ya/ Tough, tough, tough," she threatens over a relentless Stargate-helmed disco riff and dance beats that pack more camp oomph than a Pineapple Dance Studios session with Louie Spence."[5] 4Music's David Griffiths called the song "another dancefloor-friendly pop track that will have you on your feet in seconds."[6]
Chart performance
The song peaked at number 36 in Ireland,[7] and 66 in the UK from strong downloads from the album, almost one month before the official release. The song peaked on number 12 in The Netherlands.
