Jade Anderson

In 2002, Anderson released her debut studio album, Dive Deeper, on Columbia Records. She had recorded the album with White in her basement, and it was produced at his London studio.[1][2] Anderson wrote and recorded the album, and then was signed to Columbia, reportedly without her father’s involvement.[2] The album was initially slated to be released in Fall 2001,[5] but its release was delayed, and it eventually came out on 14 May 2002.[1][6] Stylistically, the record was noted for its mixture of ballads and dance-oriented songs, its extensive use of keyboards, and its Spanish influence.[3][7] It has been classified as rock, pop, and pop-soul.[2][1][8] The song “Constant Talking” criticizes gossip and is interspersed with chattering voices; it was thematically compared by AllMusic to The Go-Go’s “Our Lips are Sealed”.[3][8] The song “Sweet Memories” (sometimes called “Sunset Memories”), meanwhile, used a rhythm guitar in lieu of keyboards.[3] In March 2002, it was announced that Anderson would soon embark on tour to promote the album.[4]

Anderson’s biggest and only charting single, “Sugarhigh,” reached the Billboard Hot 100 and Dutch Singles Chart and was featured on several pop and dance compilations including Now That’s What I Call Music! 10.[9][10][11][12] Her second single, “Sweet Memories”, received a favorable critical evaluation, but failed to impact the charts which “Sugarhigh” had entered.
