Jordin 

I always get excited when the American Idol winner releases his or her first single post-Idol.  Sometimes it’s good (”Miss Independent”), and sometimes it’s bad (”Sorry for 2004″).  But still, it’s always exciting.

So imagine my surprise when I learned that a preview of Jordin Sparks’ first single, “Tattoo,” a hard-hitting rap song about getting your first prison marking, would be released today!

Juuuuust kiddin’.

It’s about the end of a relationship, of course, and it’s just wonderful.  Click below to get your first listen!
