Sullivan, along with Bryson Tiller, contributed the title track for the Insecure soundtrack in 2017, and in late 2020, she released two singles-the slow-burning “Pick Up Your Feelings” and the haunting “Lost One”-that furthered her legacy as one of the 21st century’s finest practitioners of classically minded yet forward-thinking R&B. Jazmine Sullivan and Bryson Tiller set up shop at The Dunes apartment complex for their Insecure collaboration off of the show’s Season 2 soundtrack. After taking a break from the music business in 2011, she returned three years later with the sweeping “Dumb”, the first single from her explosive 2015 full-length Reality Show. Love Me Back, her 2010 follow-up, expanded on her strengths, with the regretful “Holding You Down (Goin’ In Circles)” and the swaying Ne-Yo collaboration “U Get On My Nerves” highlighting her growth as a vocalist. That versatile, humour-laced album, led by singles including the storming “Lions, Tigers & Bears” and the vengeful “Bust Your Windows”, earned her several Grammy nominations and established her as a next-generation force in pop-soul. A session with fellow Philadelphians Kindred the Family Soul resulted in her meeting hip-hop pioneer Missy Elliott, who went on to produce Sullivan’s 2008 debut, Fearless.
Born in 1987, Sullivan honed her talents at the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts. Jazmine Sullivan has dropped a deluxe album ‘Heaux Tales, Mo Tales,’ with more soulful relationship drama, including an intro by ‘Insecure’ creator Issa Rae. A soul belter who pens cutting lyrics, Philadelphia-born Jazmine Sullivan became an R&B sensation because of her devastating honesty and no-nonsense singing style.
