Biography

Little Jackie -- named after Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam's 1989 single "Little Jackie Wants to Be a Star" -- are a duo consisting of vocalist Imani Coppola and programmer Adam Pallin, with production and songwriting assistance from longtime Coppola associate Mike Mangini (Leaders of the New School, Digable Planets, Joss Stone). Though not far from being a natural extension of Coppola's solo releases, the Little Jackie material is a little more pointed lyrically, and is sonically a pronounced throwback to a number of bygone but still fresh-sounding styles, from late-'60s soul to golden age hip-hop. Stoop, the debut Little Jackie album, was released through S-Curve in July 2008. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Little Jackie is an American band consisting of Imani Coppola and Adam Pallin. Little Jackie, which derives its name from the 1989 hit song "Little Jackie Wants to Be a Star" by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, released a hit single in 2008 called "The World Should Revolve Around Me" from their debut album The Stoop.[1][2]

Background

Coppola was a solo singer, whose most successful single was "Legend of a Cowgirl", from the 1997 album Chupacabra.[3] Adam Pallin is the programmer/producer of the duo.

In 2008, Coppola and Pallin signed a contract with S-Curve, an independent label owned by Steve Greenberg, to issue an album.[4] This coincided with the duo's television debut on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.[4] Album promotion is by Nabbr, a company that has created viral video campaigns for Justin Timberlake and Amy Winehouse.[5] Coppola, originally signed as a solo act with Columbia Records, plans to approach the music business differently with Little Jackie, bolstered by her experiences.[6] She also sees Little Jackie as an opportunity to get back into pop.[7]
