Jersey (EP)
musical recording by Bella Thorne
Jersey is the debut solo extended play by American singer and actress Bella Thorne. It was released on November 17, 2014 by Hollywood Records.
Background
In March 2013, Thorne announced she'd been signed to Hollywood Records, and began working on her debut album. On August 23, 2013, she discussed details about her upcoming album, telling MTV: "What fans can expect is [for it] just to be very different from anyone, because I don't like to be one of those artists where you can be like: 'Oh yeah, I know them from that song.' All my songs are very different from each other. So I don't want to be known as only one genre."
Development
On March 28, 2014, Thorne announced her debut album would be named as the single, and confirmed it will consist of eleven songs. In a Billboard article published on May 2, 2014, it was revealed that the album would be called Call It Whatever, and the release date would be June 24, 2014. Thorne revealed the reason why the album took so long was because "I really wanted to work on my voice. I never sang before, and I didn't want to put an album out that I wasn't proud of, or that was Auto-tuned or anything like that. I waited so that I could take a lot of vocal classes, so that I could work on my voice every day". Thorne described the sound of her album as a mix between R&B and electropop, citing as influences artists like Mariah Carey, Destiny's Child, Usher and Miley Cyrus.

Why this record matters
“Jersey (EP)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Jersey, musical and recording provides the most credible route into that argument.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18363743. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014 and 2013.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
