Jennifer Nettles remembers having just five minutes to convince Jennifer Lopez to sing on “My House,” the last song
on her new Playing With Fire album. Big Machine Label Group president Scott Borchetta asked JLo to spend a few
minutes with J Nett during this most recent season of American Idol.
Jennifer Nettles says, “At the end of the day the things that keep us up in the middle of the night with worry, or that we
dream for our kids or make us laugh … those are all the same.”“My House” takes that idea head on, with JNett even
calling herself Jenny from the Dirt Road at one point before JLo answers with “I’m Jenny from the block.”
Playing With Fire comes out tomorrow!

Chris Young and Cassadee Pope's number-one hit, "Think of You," has been a springboard for Cassadee's career. She says the success of the song has been
a source of inspiration as she's making her own album.

the right song comes along. She says it just has to happen again.
