Jazmine Sullivan

After ringing in 2009 with killer performances on BET’s 106 & Party New Year’s Eve Special, Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson and BET’s Inaugural Ball, Jazmine will perform on Good Morning America on February 2nd and Jimmy Kimmel Live on February 6th. Jazmine will also be featured in Katie Couric’s All Access Grammy Special airing February 4th on CBS.

Topping several “Best of 2008” lists, including Rolling Stone, USA Today and Associated Press, Jazmine is the most nominated debut artist (and ties with Alison Kraus as the most nominated female artist) vying in the upcoming 51st Grammy Awards. Jazmine’s soulful singing and writing style has earned her 5 Grammy nominations, including the coveted “Best New Artist” category; “Best Contemporary R&B Album” for Fearless; “Best R&B Song” for “Bust Your Windows;” “Best Female R&B Vocal Performance” for “Need U Bad;” and “Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance” for “In Love with Another Man.”

Jazmine Sullivan’s critically-acclaimed J Records release, FEARLESS, debuts at No. 1, beating out Ne-Yo for the top spot on this week’s Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. With a total of 65,539 units sold in the first week, FEARLESS debuts at No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and the Billboard Digital Albums chart.

The chart-topping debut of FEARLESS is further indication that Jazmine’s signature style is long overdue. “It’s been a long time since a debut artist has brought as much drama” cites USA Today’s 3-star review, while People’s 3.5-star Critic’s Choice review declares that FEARLESS is the “African-American answer to Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black.” Elle adds to the critical praise by stating the 21 year old Philly native “swings deep and wide like Sarah Vaughn, tears it up like Mary J., and emanates the lady-preacher seriousness of Lauryn Hill.”

Sparking the high chart entry is Sullivan’s debut single “Need U Bad” which reached the No. 1 position on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts and made her the first female in almost four years – the 8th this decade – to achieve this feat. On Monday, Jazmine’s video for her hit single “Need U Bad” will debut in power rotation on Vh1 Soul and MTV Jams, and most recently held the No. 1 spot on BET’s 106 & Park for 7 consecutive days straight. Showing signs of duplicating the same chart ascent is Sullivan’s new single “Bust Your Windows” which was the No. 3 gainer at Urban radio this week.

Beginning October 8 at Boston’s Opera House, Jazmine will bring FEARLESS to the stage as the opening act on the highly-anticipated Maxwell tour. The tour is scheduled to trek across twenty-eight cities, ending in New York on November 23.
