Watch this video of Jesse from way back when! Jesse does the 'Schfifty Five' with former bandmate, Dillon Kondor.

Check out the recent interview andPop did with Jesse McCartney. In it Jesse talks about his reasons for calling the album "Departure":

"There have been departures in my career, in my personal life. I've learned a lot since doing my first couple of records. I think I've landed in the most comfortable place I've ever been musically as the style of music, my vocals and the lyrical content of the songs on this album."

Jesse posted a new blog post on his stay in Europe:

Day 6 & 7: We went to a city in Germany called Mainz, where the big German TV station ZDF is based. On Saturday we rehearsed and Sunday performed on a show called Fernsegarten. It's nothing like anything on US TV and the show was a trip.. They tell me its a popular show but it had a crazy assortment of performers, from pop singers to ballroom dancers in tuxedos and gowns, to things I can only describe as weird human tricks like stacking dice with a cup and bungee diving trapeze dancers. The stage I performed on was on the edge of a swimming pool. No special reason. The whole experience was totally surreal. Afterwards we drove to Munich, where we had a satisfying meal of weinerschnitzel and weitzen beer.

There has been some video posted of Jesse's performance in Germany at the Dome.

The Sun has some footage of an acoustic performance of Leavin' that Jesse performed for them.

One of the biggest teen magazines in Malaysia, Jesse McCartney is in the latest issue to hit stands there.

In it they state that Jesse is eager to show the world he has matured as an performer:

He is eager to shed his adolescent image. “The records I make are for my fans and this one in particular, some of my older fans,” says McCartney. “I want people to see the growth on this album and to see where I've been musically for the last couple of years, which was drastically different.”
