There are moments when we veer away from modern music and want to lend our ears to those who really matter in terms of vocal calisthenics and sheer musical talent. While it is a given fact that having a strong, solid vocal prowess is needed for a musician to push his or her career further, we can all nod in agreement that sometimes, all it takes is some blatant tweaking and digital magic.
Music fans from all over the world would certainly have one or two singers or performers who provide them with hair-raising and awesome productions. Some might drop the names of Mariah Carey, the late Whitney Houston, Celine Dion and others, but for the younger generation, Jazmine Sullivan is usually part of our discussions.
What sets Jazmine Sullivan apart from singers of her age is her innate ability to twist her vocal chords to whatever is demanded of her. Throughout the course of her career, Sullivan has been a notorious femme fatale in delivering a plethora of genres such as reggae, dub, R&B, neo soul, jazz, doo-wop and pop.
Touches of soul and ballad are also part her works, making her one of the most versatile performers in the current generation. The 29-year old Jazmine Sullivan has weaved quite a strong impression through her released tracks that granted her outright veneration for what she can do as a solid vocal persona.
Before she made it big as someone behind the mic, Jazmine Sullivan has been a known songwriter, penning songs for a wide array of artists like Christina Millan, Tamia, Monica, Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia Barrino. It is not a shock that this talented musician also co-wrote her first album entitled Fearless in September of 2008.
Sullivan’s first offering has been relentlessly supported by co-producers Missy Elliott, Peter Edge and Salaam Remi, making the debut soar high and capping the top spot in the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and sixth in the illustrious Billboard 200. A year later, Sullivan ventured into enriching her skills as a songwriter slash singer with the sophomore album entitled Love Me Back, distinguishing her as the Rising Star of 2010 in the Billboard Charts.
Focusing on the themes of love, relationships and self-image, Reality Show was Jazmine’s third album, which started out as strong as her past two productions. Easily, 30,000 copies have been bought in the first week of its release, thereby making her a Grammy-nominated artist under three categories which are Best Traditional R&B Performance, Best R&B Song and Best R&B Album.
Rumor has it that this feisty young star is on her way to produce her fourth studio album, which is self-titled, and is due to be released in the third or last quarter of 2016. Jazmine Sullivan can be heard stretching her vocal chords in tracks like Need U Bad, Bust Your Windows, Lions, Tigers and Bears, Dream Big, Stuttering, Holding You Down and 10 Seconds.
