Jazmine Sullivan - Fearless
October 20, 2008
If you are growing tired of all the crap on the radio like me you’ll be relieved that Jazmine Sullivan is not just a pretty face. Jazmine started off her vocal career in gospel, impressing the congregation with a voice strong enough to reach the heavens. Getting her break at age 11 on Showtime at the Apollo performing Accept What God Allows.
Jazmine finally found a home at J Records and set out creating her debut album, Fearless. While most artists spend their debuts trying to convince you that the belong, Jazmine has chosen to confront expectations head on. If you take only one message from her album, it’s that you do not f**k with this girl unless you want her to Bust Your Windows. An ocherestral production that you could mistaken for a love song takes you through a story of a cheating man who gets his car windows busted up.
Fearless shakes off all flash and provides the substance that has been lacking in the music industry. Jazmine Sullivan reminds me of a young Lauryn Hill from her chart toppin’ Need U Bad to the mainstream sounds of After The Hurricane. Jazmine Sullivan is one to watch the next few years.
