Bust Your Windows

Jazmine Sullivan

Columbia/J

WE SAY

Jazmine Sullivan's album Fearless is one of our favourite US debuts in the last year. Her powerful and convincing voice rips through some excellently written songs on an album. The great string sample on this single is taken from producer Salaam Remi's composition Bad Man Waltz. In the US, Fearless was nominated for 5 Grammys, debuted at No1 and has already sold in excess of 440,000 copies. She made her UK live debut this week with gigs timed with the release of Bust Your Windows. Kiss and BBC 1Xtra have supported on radio with TV plays coming on MTV Base. If you need further evidence of her talent check out Need U Bad, Dream Big and the beautiful In Love With Another Man - (Spotify link). JF London gig: September 10, Jazz Café, NW1
