Jade Valerie (杰德·薇乐莉),全名Jade Valerie Villalon,于2007年九月离开SWEETBOX。在2000年--2006年期间,Jade促使了SWEETBOX在亚洲乃至国际的扬名。Jade不但是一位独唱歌手,她还尤为擅长作曲、作词、音乐制作,比如令S.H.E走红的《Superstar》的曲子就是由Jade与其音乐制作人GEO共同创作的。而像S.H.E翻唱的《Remember》《爱情的海洋》《Always On My Mind》等歌曲中都融合了Jade的创作成分。2004年,S.H.E公司赤资300万力邀Jade、GEO为S.H.E创作了新歌《我爱你》,Jade的制作人GEO还担当了《痛快》的编曲。这两首歌曲收录在SHE的专辑中。Jade还亲自演绎了《我爱你》的英文版--More Than Love。日本天后滨崎步在听过了SWEETBOX的精选专辑后,对Jade的歌曲大加赞赏,并也邀请Jade、GEO为其一共创作了六首歌曲,这些歌曲都由Jade演绎了英文版。2007年春季,Jade创作了单曲Crush,并与韩国流行音乐艺人白智英合唱,Jade演唱了歌曲的英文部分。这首歌曲作为白智英的单曲专辑在韩国发行。像大家所熟悉的Don't Push Me、Life Is Cool、Addicted等歌曲在韩国大受欢迎,这三首歌曲都引用了古典的旋律作为曲子的基调,与流行音乐元素的融合可谓是完美至极。其中,Don't Push Me还被中国的劲舞团游戏收录,令玩家耳目一新,印象深刻。值得一提的是,Jade还受邀演唱了影音游戏“最终幻想”的国际版主题曲--1000 Words。从某一点来讲,这些歌曲反映出了Jade的成长过程和她在音乐创作领域的不断探索。今年10月12日,日本环球唱片公司发行了Jade首张个人专辑--OUT OF THE BOX,这是一张“迷你版专辑”,专辑中收录了八首歌曲。主打歌Just Another Day描述了Jade离开SWEETBOX的缘由,并充分表露出Jade对歌迷的感谢与祝福。Jade的第二张新专辑Bittersweet Symphony(悲欢交响曲)将于今年3月5日发行,您可以到下面的几个链接中查看关于新专辑的详情.此外,新专辑的主打歌MV也已经公布,欢迎观看!让我们共同期待这一专辑的发行,并共同祝福Jade在新的音乐旅程中依然声名远扬,星光无限！While still very young, JADE VALERIE is hardly new to the entertainment industry - aside from her mega successful career as the the singer and writer of SWEETBOX, JADE filmed her first TV commercial at 5, she then ventured onto BROADWAY and then onto HOLLYWOOD.
