Jazmine Sullivan hits the road with “Lions, Tigers and Bears” and Ne-Yo

Still gleaming over her five Grammy Awards nominations, including a nod for “Best New Artist,” singer/songwriter Jazmine Sullivan is set to join fellow Grammy nominee Ne-Yo on a 16-city tour beginning February 5th in Las Vegas (full tour itinerary below). This is the second outing for Sullivan, who has received rave reviews as the opening act on the recently sold-out Maxwell tour.

Jazmine’s third single, “Lions, Tigers and Bears” from her J Records’ Grammy nominated debut album Fearless, is already a Top 20 Urban single and rapidly climbing the charts since its January 12th impact at radio. The Syndrome-directed video for the single embodies the essence of Victor Fleming’s 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz,” mixed beautifully into a contemporary pop-art backdrop. The video will premiere January 29th exclusively on Myspace. Click here for a sneak peek of the video!

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.”
