When picking songs for a new album, Jordan Pruitt invokes her "5-second rule." If the track doesn't grab her in five seconds, forget it. No way that the song is right for her. If it passes the test, then Jordan Pruitt goes with her instincts. And they haven't failed her yet. Jordan Pruitt has reaped great success since the release of her 2006 Hollywood Records debut, "No Ordinary Girl." But cross-country tours and a string of hit singles were only the beginning for this gifted 17 year old. Now a little older and a lot wiser, Jordan Pruitt returns with "Permission to Fly," her irresistible new Hollywood Records album.

Working with a team of top songwriter/producers—including Daniel James & Leah Haywood (Aly & AJ, Mandy Moore), Shelly Peiken (Christina Aguilera, Michelle Branch, Keith Urban), Arnthor Birgisson (Enrique Iglesias, Celine Dion), Tim James & Antonina Armato (Miley Cyrus, Aly & AJ, Vanessa Hudgens), Adam Watts & Andy Dodd (Jesse McCartney)—Jordan Pruitt injected a renewed self-awareness into the Album's 12 tracks, several of which she co-wrote. She still sings about the purer pleasures of being a teen, but between the lines, it's clear: Jordan Pruitt isn't a kid anymore. "I kind of grew up after the first record was done," Jordan Pruitt says. "I became more of myself. I really found out who I was and what I wanted to be."

The album kicks off with "My Shoes," a fun hyper-syncopated song about seeking a little empathy, punctuated with Jordan Pruitt's own layered harmonies. In straight-up pop songs like "I Was In Love for a Day," "I'm Gone," and her sensational remake of the Temptations' classic "The Way You Do The Things You Do," Jordan Pruitt let her fun side run wild. Jordan Pruitt shows a flash of old school R&B in "Simple Things," and goes back further with the be-bop-flavored harmonies in "Secrets." But Jordan Pruitt has had her share of life lessons, which she shares in tracks like "I Wanna Go Back" and the title track, "Permission to Fly," which she calls "an empowerment song, about spreading your wings and becoming a young woman."

In "Unconditional," Jordan Pruitt sings of the abiding faith that carries through the rough patches. "Always," co-written by Jordan Pruitt is about the difficulties of keeping a relationship going. Perhaps the album's biggest surprise is "One Love," a bright reggae-influenced song filled with boundless humanity and loving spirit.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Jordan Pruitt album without an abundance of spirit. Though still young, Jordan Pruitt takes seriously her responsibility to try to heal the world, even just a little bit, through music. 

Hailing from Loganville, Georgia, Jordan Pruitt grew up in a close musical family (her Dad was a song leader at church). Beginning at age 4, Jordan Pruitt started singing in public, working her way up to crowds of thousands at venues like Centennial Olympic Park, Stone Mountain, Six Flags Over Georgia and Atlanta's Fox Theater. Soon enough, Jordan Pruitt entered a Nashville studio, cutting the demos that clinched her Hollywood Records deal.

Even before the release of her debut album, Jordan Pruitt generated widespread excitement, with the track "Outside Looking In," generating a million early spins on her MySpace page. The track was also featured in the Disney Channel film "Read It And Weep."

In 2006 and 2007, Jordan Pruitt had four videos featured on the Disney Channel, not to mention constant airplay on Radio Disney. On tour, Jordan Pruitt opened for the Cheetah Girls and Vanessa Hudgens, and later opened for the sold-out 40 city American tour of Disney's "High School Musical: The Concert." Over a period of months, Jordan Pruitt toured with Corbin Bleu, Drake Bell, Plain White Tees, and the Jonas Brothers as well as headlining several shows. More recently, Jordan Pruitt performed at the International AIDS Conference at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church in Southern California.

Coinciding with the release of "Permission to Fly," Jordan Pruitt has signed on as the spokesperson for several multi-media national marketing campaigns with Kraft, Kimberly-Clark, Colgate-Palmolive, Samsung and the Limited Too brands. 

Though constantly busy, Jordan Pruitt makes a point of returning to her small-town Tennessee home as often as she can. There, she hangs with family and friends, and, as she says, "for a day or two I can just be Jordy." But then it's back to work. Fun as that work is, Jordan Pruitt knows she has a special responsibility. "I have that fan base of younger girls that look up to me," Jordan Pruitt says. "There is a need for a great girl role model out there today and I'm totally up for that. In singing pop music, I put really positive and uplifting messages in my songs."

That's plainly evident in her new album, about which Jordan Pruitt says "I put more sweat into this than anything I've ever done." Permission to fly? No permission necessary. Jordan Pruitt took off long ago, and she will be on the wing for a long time to come.
