ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: JAZMINE SULLIVAN

♫ Jazmine Sullivan - In Love With Another Man

The 20-year-old J. Records signee Jazmine Sullivan is anything but your typical vocalist. The raw sultriness in her voice is something that you would never expect to come out of someone so young. Jazmine has been in the industry for a while now - performing, writing and lending her beautiful voice on background vocals. But it’s now her time to shine, with an album on the way that will make the masses fall in love with music and true artistry again, with contributions from Salaam Remi, Cool & Dre (who she penned Christina Milian’s “Say I” with) and Missy Elliott, to name a few.

Before when making posts about Jazmine, people considered her to be just a cover artist (with her soulful renditions of “Resentment,” also recorded by Beyonce and Victoria Beckham, and “Say I”) - but she is so much more, with the likes of Clive Davis and Peter Edge (President of A&R at J. Records) in her corner. With “In Love With Another Man,” written and co-produced by Sullivan and Anthony Bell, Jazmine sends chills. This is the song that helped get Jazmine her deal with J., after the staff gave her a standing ovation due to her live performance of the song.

She has an AMAZING voice. Kind of reminds me of Selena. Hopefully, she will get the accolades she deserves. People don’t seem to appreciate good music these and this is definitly good music.

I’ll definitly cop this album.

….but she shouldnt have signed to J Records, they dont promote their R&B singers for ish! See, Monica and Fantasia.

19.

Wow, what an amazing voice!! Its refreshing to hear REAL TALENT!!! Best of luck to you Jaz!

renee

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

She has an amazing voive. I was very suprised that she sang that way. I was definitely not expecting that tone and soulfulness…She’s great!

21.

Knuck

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

Yes, her voice is so freakin AMAZING!! I been up on her for a while. She has a lot of songs on youtube (and if u still wanna hear something listen to background vocals on Fantasia’s “Free Yourself”).

Her voice is compared to more gospel artists than anything (like Kim Burrell). But for someone so young, you will be speechless at her runs, the control, and the grit of her voice. I think she’s gonna help bring REAL R&B back, not this pop shake-ya-booty-in-the-club mess.

Anyway, #15 I don’t really like the lyrics of this song either. She sayin that the man is good and he treats her better than HER man, however he needs to go find somebody else because she in love? NO MA’AM lol.. What’s love got to do wit it?

22.

Love Jazmine her voice is so Beautiful…Been listening to her for awhile now, i just hope her album comes out soon.

29.

From someone who knows

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

You guys who mentioned Fantasia not being properly promoted by JRecords, I want you to be confident of this one thing Fantasia is really doing better than anyone could ever imagine, that’s all I can say at this point and she is so, so grateful. In doing TCP she humble herself stayed out of the spotlight for a season worked very hard put up with very harsh hatred and criticism mostly form this site and abuse of her daughter (who also will surprise all of you), she is with her mother in the theatre for a very good reason..(smile). By the way JRecords (Clive Davis has stuck by her and he loves her) and maybe it was some of hate people she worked with who hated her and sabotaged her whom I won’t mention. This industry is sick.
Oh, by the way Angel I see HBICU is one of your sponsors, by the way guess who is enrolled as a HBICU student and is also a big financial supporter of them….go figure, and you did not post that this year she alos made sure that others will fulfill their dream in obtianing their education through a contest she posted on her site their were 4 winners.
I only said this since someone mentioned her and in a negative light as usual.
By the way i know your focus has been the Knowles family, but you will see the Barrino familywill be a force to be reckoned with, I love their style just laying back in the cut and all are working hard including her Mom and letting you all run your mouths.
By the way go stand outside the theatre now and see if you can get a pic of she and her daughter??????
I just saw her last week and all is truly well!!!!!

By the way this young lady too is very talented and I hope that she has much success.

31.

From someone who knows

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

It’s good to know yu approve of her and are nto calling her ugly that is so important to her sucess that she meets the approval on you all who post here.

32.

Joshua

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

I have been own her since she was on Kindred’s first album, Surrender to Love. Her vocal range is ridiculous. I have been anticipating her formal introduction to the music world and I can’t wait to buy her music. Good look, Concrete Loop!

33.

Knuck

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

#29, I don’t get it.. Who is the person who was mentioned in a negative light on here?

34.

MR. J KENNEDY

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

I’VE BEEN A FAN OF HER FOR SOME TIME…U MUST HERE HER VERSION OF (BEYONCE’S)RESENTMENT…ITS HOT!

35.

Qtis

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

Now I ain’t never no hata but let’s be for real. If anyone should play the Queen of Soul in a movie I said it before and I’ll say it again it should be Jasmine or Fantasia. J-Hud doesn’t have the skills. This girl would be perfect! The Queen of Soul should be well represented!

36.

Delane

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

I love, love, love her voice. Best wishes to her and her career.

37.

monie luv

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

Jazmine Sullivan is definitely the truth. I absolutely love her voice. And I knew that Clive Davis was going to scoop her up, but he better treat her right and actually put her music out there because he’s notorious for putting people on the shelf. The only artist on his label that gets top treatment is Alicia Keys, so I hope that he sees the talent in Jazmine, also.

But, I also love her version of “Resentment,” Now Beyonce did her thing on that song as well, but Jazmine did her “Grown Woman Thang” on that song. :-)

38.

charlee

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

wow i guess its only me but the song aint all that, its blah!!!! not impressed

39.

REPLY TO # 38

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

Thank you I agree, these folk be lying on here. I’m like the other person why you all got to keep mentioning Fantasia in your shit, first she should play Aretha, now its Jasmine, if you met Fanny she would tell you she does not even care she and Arethas relationship is bigger and more real than this industry. This post is about Jazmine keep it like that.
By the way if Fantasia doesn’t play Aretha trust me she will be working at some capacity the girl has never not worked since winning American Idol.
Angel just does not tell you everything, go to aoland yahoo and check or work history enough said.
Good job Jazmine, event though I agree with #38.

JoRo

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

This is the first time I’m hearing about this woman. Her voice is beautiful, so soulful. And she’s only 20? She sounds so much older. With the right material, she could do really well.

Oh my goodness! I’ve been waiting for ya’ll to finally shine a light on Jazmine Sullivan! Two years I’ve been listening to her!!! I’m glad somebody caught up!

44.

Jygalo

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

I am sorry, not to be a hater, just my opionion, but at best a weak Lauryn and a littl better than Tweet. She sounds like she needs a cough drop…but I personally love power houses. Mariah, Beyonce, Beyonce, JHud, even Celine…Jazmine just sounds like a homegirl who can sing a bit. But who needs an amazing voice in this industry? She just may blow up

45.

#38 AND #39, STOP HATING. WHAT CAN YALL DO? EXACTLY………. SHE SOUNDS GREAT!

46.

Everyday someone new comes along

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

@#144
I just read these comments and sit back and watch who is still working next year and their character. Just like t the peole you mentioned are none I prefer. I love Jill Scott, india Arie, Angie Stone, you fell me we all lhave our choices and of course Lil’ Tasia which the loop fans think is a failur and ghetto.
God Bless all othem and not to mention Whitney who we are praying for. there will someone new next week.

47.

No one is hating.

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

People have different taste, the girl can sing I wish her well she is just not my cup of tea, there is enoough love and money to go around.

48.

MrGEORGE

This brought tears to my eyes…
No joke.
That girl is blessed with such depth…and warmth to her voice…

49.

I AGREE WITH EVERYONE

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

With all the mes in the industry, you all lets be nice to everyone and let people like whom they will, after the TI mess, I am kind on hold with all this fan stuff. God help all in the msuic industry integrity is an issue for me now, and not just talent, which we have gotten away from and lwets stop allt his arguing on the loop, let people say what they will. This a free country different strokes for different folks.

50.

OG_Sweetz

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

@ 24, I agree!

51.

PEACE AND LOVE FOR ALL

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

It’s okay, I kind of agree with the other poster. I live in the ATL, and I kind of heard someomore stuff about the TI drama last night and I am not doing to good this weekend. Godd that they have posted another new artist. I will say this Beyonce has never sounded this good. (She has some integrity issues as far as I am concerned).
Right now there is only one young lady I strongly support right about now, because I am tired and my Mom said something yesterday she said watch what I tell you more mess is going to come out the closet both on male and female singers because she said you all are worshipping these young singers and not God and I was reading the post and they mention a standing ovation and I said I wondered whenthe last time any of us gave God a standing ovation. I am going to church this Sunday and not to the clubs this weekend and going to listen to some Kelly Price,Fantasia , Fred Hammond and JMoss and get my praise on.
God Bless you young lady.
By the way my mom says you are an attractive yooung lady and you have a nice voice but my mom and dad have been together for 29 years (going on 30) and she thinks the lyrics are questionable and what I shoud ascribe too . I say WHACK.
I wish you success.
God Bless the young people of concreteloop, have a great weekend and to all the college crowd go to church Sunday and give Him some praise and glory. (SMILE!!!)

52.

JamRock

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

Her voice is nice but you can go to most any black baptist church with a halfway decent minister of music in the U.S.A on any given Sunday and hear the same and even more talented singing than what is currently being passed off as real vocal talent in the industry. Good luck to her and and I hope the trend of real vocalists continues on this path…because it’s missed and much needed!

53.

NaTasha

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

Hey, #51
Jazmine voice does sound good, but I am not that keen on the lyrics either.
I’m from N.C. Angels neck of the woods and college. I think I will go to church Sunday too. I like your style.
Thanks for the props to Angel, she is my girl, and by the way this not a Tasia post,but I like her too, home girl.

54.

datone

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

Yo, her track called “Silent Tears” is the joint too!

oh, her version of “Prototype” is great too

and don’t forget “Round Midnight’

55.

ALRIGHT NOW!!! TO JAMROCK

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

That’s exactly what I said wiht all the JHud hype. I been going to church for years and let me tell you , there are some sisters (and brothers) there who can blow some of these folk out the waters. There is even one young lady whose mama’s name I won’t mention can make your hair stand on your head and I ain’t lying. the woman can blow,but she supports her daughter. so JAMROCK man I got to agree brother.
We got some singing folk in the church.
That new BET program Sundays best is bringing them to the forefront.
Sorry yall,but I don’t buy the hype.
I got to say you are so on point brother, I know I am going to get cursed out by these young folk on this site, oh well.

56.

MsToni

Saturday, October 20, 2007 /

DATONE thanks for the info, I will be on the lookout for this young lady. But some of other the comments are so true, we are kind of obssessed with this industry not God, in fact for a whole week I stayed away from the loop on purpose.
Sir I an’t mad at you like one person said it’s ain’t all about one persons opinion, and I need to start going back to church. Clive Davis or these other moguls or artist or not my God and I had to repent, I’ve even started back reading my bible.

Phyllis Hyman. That’s who she reminds me of with her rich tone. Her voice isn’t very powerful in the upper register but she oozes soul and emotion. I enjoyed this and can’t wait to hear more.

Her voice is very captivating. I like the song ! I’m sure a lot of women (and men) can relate to the lyrics. Well, I might purchase her album ,I’m starting to like her as an artist :)

From #29 and we all agree. I made those statements for a reason.
Jazmine does deserve her time to shine my point exactly.
Glad to know we are on the same page.
By the way I work at JReords,believe it or not.
Not a writer or producer, Ii do a little traveling though and I keep my ears to the ground and I really know what’s up.
