Remember when Jesse McCartney was all doe-eyed and earnest, going on about “beautiful souls”? Well, on his new single “Leavin’” (Hollywood), it seems young Master McCartney has embraced his inner playa. The irresistibly catchy, R&B-tinged track, produced by Tricky and The-Dream, is a sweet slice of springtime fun that picks up where Chris Brown’s smash “With You” left off. And it should give McCartney, who has honed his songwriting chops penning Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love” with Ryan Tedder, his biggest hit yet.
