Thanks for posting this Bella. I did a artist spotlight on Jazmine on my blog. I loveeeee her. This girl is veryyy talented. My favorite Jazmine song is Round Midnight. It’s a classic song with the sound of Ella Fitzgerald mixed with Lauryn Hill.

Bella thanks for highlighting her I love Jazmine Sullivan. Check YouTube for her version of Resentment. She puts beyonce’s version to shame. Concrete loop has her other song “I am in love with another man”.

Bebroma — good question! It took me years of practice to nail my eyeliner technique, and I have an impossible time putting it on other people as well. I’ll look into that for ya. And Angel — EXCELLENT question. I’ve been gathering some hyperpigmentation info behind the scenes, so I’ll do an Ask Afrobella addressing that soon come. And I’ll find out about Rihanna’s nailpolish — I wonder if it’s a mix of two colors. Off to investigate!

Another Philly artist bites the dust!!! I love Jazmine and she is just adding to Philly’s neo-soul roster that has been built. She has so much range within her voice. I can’t wait for her album. I hope the world embraces her the way we have been these last couple of years.

I love me some Jazmyne Sullivan too. I’m glad she’s doing her thing. Girl can sang. Thanks for the buzz on those MAC pigments.

Awww yeahhh! If she can throw it down like this at 20, I can’t wait to see what she’s doing in 10. I love this. Thanks for spotlighting so many people that I wouldn’t have heard about otherwise…and how exciting is THAT to know that Victor C read that post and responded! I have a makeup question, too, which I’m going to ask before I forget…what’s the best way to put eye makeup on the side with your dominant hand? Like, I’m right-handed, and lining my right eye is a challenge. I do okay, but it’s hard. Do other people have that problem? Or am I just challenged personally? That is a very real possibility. :-]

LOVE this song. I can see the comparison to Ms. Hill, but she sounds more gritty. I love her voice and the video is hot!

When I saw the T-Boz link I guessed (incorrectly) that it’d be to the BET girl-group thing with Alicia Keys and SWV/EnVogue/TLC. T-Boz sounded ROUGH. OStill, oohhh, let there be a be a tour in the making.

Thanks again spotlighting another deserving, slept-on songstress. I love her voice (I agree with ChocolateOrchid re: Lalah), and also the way the track bounces you from the island in the verse to more straight R&B in the chorus and back. Also glad she’s so young. There’s hope, y’all! “Real” singing, it’s not just for old folks (30s, hahah) anymore.
