Actually, I hate when any popular artist, current or classic, is crammed down my throat as required listening (Kanye and Lady Gaga, I'm staring at you two). It's like forcing a school kid to read classic literature, they end up unjustly hating it.otm

jazmine sullivan's something special, isn't she? 'need u bad' was real slow burn for me but it got there in the end. that middle 8! sadly all trace of 'lions, tigers & bears' has vanished from youtube and the internet is not providing an mp3, but i loved it when i heard it this morning, that line about how "the most frightening thing is you and me" is brilliant. 'bust your windows' is great too. i like that she's ~not~ obsessed with wanting to be mary j, pace keyshia.

basically if you have any clue at all you'll be too busy listening to 'high price' by ciara ("MY BODY LOOK SOFTER THAN A MCDONALD'S HAMBURGER BUN!") and 'need u bad' by jazmine sullivan on loop to have time to give a shit. i am off to do just that, have fun stewing in your own tedium kidz xxx

am really hyped for jazmine's album, 'in love with another man' and 'lions, tigers and bears' are astonishing too.

the others are just indie bands right? not wasting my time on that. need to cleanse ears w/some jazmine sullivan (who, incidentally, should be fucking at the TOP of this list)

sacrificed my jazmine trax in the hope that the album will place...couldn't decide between my favourites ('in love with another man' and 'lions, tigers & bears') and the most likely track to place ('need u bad') anyway

jazmine repped for in neither albums nor trax polls...that is a poor, poor loss :(

oh yeah, i heard half the jazmine sullivan album today. wait'll you all hear "redemption", that song will blow you away. spoken word/rapped verses, one from a crack whore's perspective and one from a male domestic abuser's perspective, and an absolutely massive gospel chorus. there's also a mj-esque disco number called "don't make me wait" where she actually sings with restraint and subtlety (!). and a big retro-sounding ballad called "excuse me" where she does not, at all. looking good so far, basically.

has everyone heard the jazmine sullivan album yet? think it's out there now. really good - fantastic backing vox throughout ("love you long time" is spectacular, esp w/the military tattoo) and i'm really taken by how concise she is - most songs clock in well under 4 minutes - they get in, do their thing and get out.

it's soooo frustrating that an album as inventive and full of ideas as well as trad r&b values like the jazmine sullivan one will get like 1% of the critical attention of janelle monáe's (let alone kanye's)

as far as i can tell she has even less of a profile than jazmine sullivan outside the US. trying to drum up editorial interest in jazmine is some blood/stone ish - i just can't even face trying with fantasia ;_;
fucking hate rock criticism sometimes.
