Flo Rida Runs with Jess Mauboy

by lkatulka on September 1st, 2008

Flo Rida is adding a dose of cred to the first solo album of former Young Diva and Australian Idol runner-up Jessica Mauboy. The hip hop megastar joins Jess on her first solo single, “Running Back.”

It appears Jess may follow in Ricki-Lee Coulter’s footsteps. Ricki-Lee’s career flourished once she left her Diva band mates, and if the hype is any indication Jess will taste the same success. The Darwin teen is already being compared to Rihanna by some industry insiders for her strong vocals and songwriting prowess.

“Running Back” will hit radio in the next couple of weeks. Jessica Mauboy’s debut album will be released early next year.
