Jordin Sparks is getting in touch with Jesse McCartney and his Beautiful Soul.

The tween favorites are teaming up this summer for a 16-date North American tour, kicking off Aug. 5 in Sacramento, Calif.

"I am really excited to be going out and sharing the stage with someone as talented as Jesse McCartney," Sparks said. "He brings a soulful voice, heart of gold and his good looks to the stage every night, and I can't wait to share it with him."

The 21-year-old McCartney, whose latest glory has come from behind the scenes as cowriter of the Leona Lewis hit "Bleeding Love," readily returned the compliment to the 18-year-old American Idol winner.

"Jordin has the most incredible voice," the former Summerland star said. "She's one of those pure talents you don't see a lot of in this business. I can't wait to get out there with her."

Jesse & Jordin Live will also include stops in Los Angeles, New York, Boston and Sparks' hometown of Glendale, Ariz.
