The genre of the Jessie J song "Who You Are" is coul pop. It tells a story, making it a narrative which the audience can relate to.A lot of pop songs now don't have that crucial 'soul' element, which makes them impossible to relate to as they don't tell a story. There is almost always next to no passion behind the lyrics. This means the ausience don't connect with the artist/performer as much as they have no underlying meanings to think about.
Another artist that uses this soul pop genre is Adele. She writes songs mostly about her own love life, making them extremely relatable and believable. This in turn, makes her an extremely popular artist as she sings from the heart, a skill which not many artists have now. Similarly, Leona Lewis (another soul/pop artist) uses the same genre codes and conventions to create music.
