Check out what the critics have to say about Jazmine Sullivan!
About Her Debut Album Fearless...
“Swings deep and wide like Sarah Vaughn, tears it up like Mary J., and emanates the lady-preacher seriousness of Lauryn Hill.”
“It’s been a long time since a debut artist has brought as much drama.”
“The African-American answer to Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black.”
“She’s on fire and set to become one of the heralded new acts of the year.”
“Jazmine Sullivan revives the spirit of R&B with a fresh approach… A symphony of independence and emotion.”
About Her Performance on the Maxwell Tour...
“A predicted contender for New Artist of the Year honors… A cross between Alicia Keys and Lauryn Hill, the raspy-voiced alto opened the show with a polished performance remarkable for a prime-time newcomer.”
“Her husky alto was dynamic and funky… Sullivan, 21, projected the attitude of a gritty street diva, shifting from up-tempo dance numbers to emotional ballads and back again.”
“Opener Jazmine Sullivan got the fires burning with a short set that showcased her irrepressible personality-especially on the woman-scorned opener “Bust Your Windows” - and her seductively husky voice.”
“Funky, eclectic singer with the retro flavor…”
“R&B up-and-comer Jazmine Sullivan handled opening duties with force, mixing the heartache of breakups with club-ready and reggae-inspired material…”

Check out Billboard's review of Jazmine's latest single "Bust Your Windows."
______________________________________
Bust Your Windows
JAZMINE SULLIVAN
Producer(s): Salaam Remi
Genre: R&;B/HIP-HOP
Label: J Records
Philly newcomer Jazmine Sullivan is the first female in two years to top Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with a debut—"Need U Bad"—not to mention No. 1 R&B album "Fearless." Theatrical yet believable, the 21-year-old follows with the midtempo "Bust Your Windows," emoting one of the most challenging vocals from a female R&B artist this year. And boy, she nails it: Sullivan's husky voice floats effortlessly over an eerie underlining violin score, originating from a sample of producer Salaam Remi's composition "Bad Man Waltz." With two Billboard Hot 100 singles on the charts (and climbing), the prime-time drama that is Sullivan's music deserves to have a second season picked up. She's on fire and set to become one of the heralded new acts of the year.
