Background[edit]
Sullivan signed to Jive Records in 2003 where she later began providing vocals for other artists such as Kindred the Family Soul.[1] Sullivan graduated from the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts in Philadelphia in 2005,[2][3] where she was a vocal music major. After graduation, she was dropped from her record label Jive Records, later scrapping her original debut album which remains unreleased.[4] In 2007, Peter Edge, record executive and then president of J Records, saw interest in her after listening to her demo that she recorded for Christina Milian's single 'Say I' (2006), he later which offered her a deal with J Records.[5][6] She eventually began work for her debut studio album.[7]
The lead single, 'Need U Bad', produced by Missy Elliott, was released on May 13, 2008.[8] and its music video premiered on July 7, 2008.[9] The song reached number thirty-seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[10][11] She later performed the song at the 2008 BET Awards.[12] 'Bust Your Windows' was released as the second single from the album on September 16, 2008,[13] and its music video premiered in October 2008.[14][15] The song was based on It reached number six on the Hot 100 and serves as Sullivan's most successful single.

In a September 2008 interview with Pete Lewis of Blues & Soul, Sullivan disccused the album's title and lyrical themes,
“ | I named the album 'Fearless' because I'm just not afraid of ANYTHING right now. I'm young, I'm 22 years old.. And I just feel that, if YOU embrace your uniqueness by not being afraid to take chances and being different, then everybody ELSE will! You know, I definitely did not wanna exclude ANYBODY! So, if you buy my record and think you're gonna get just a bunch of reggae beats or just a bunch of R&B beats, you'll be wrong! You're gonna get EVERYTHING! I mean, the genres can range from jazz, to gospel, to pop.. Because that's who I AM! And, with me having been inspired by so much, I wanted everybody to SEE that diversity in me.[20] | ” |

The album received generally positive reviews from most music critics. Sullivan received many comparisons by critics to other well-known female R&B artists, such as Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse, Mary J. Blige, and Alicia Keys.[25][29][30][31][32]Allmusic writer Andy Kellman gave the album 4½ out of 5 stars and praised her performance, stating 'There's a lot of range on display here, and there is just as much depth'.[21]Vibe's Erika Ramirez praised Sullivan's singing and lyrical substance, writing 'Sullivan's vocal perfection pilots her debut album.. and boasts her self-penned lyrics which are filled with struggle and heartache, embodying every inch of the soul star she is'.[33]NOW's Benjamin Boles commended Sullivan for her 'strong voice' and the album's production, stating 'she’s pulling from a pleasingly wide range of influences – dropping bits of doo-wop, roots reggae, Motown and hip-hop into the mix while maintaining a consistent feel'.[24]Q gave it 4 out of 5 stars and wrote '[H]er voice merges Beyonce and Amy Winehouse and is backed by slick productions'.[26]Houston Chronicle writer Joey Guerra wrote favorably of her songwriting and called the album 'a collection brimming with attitude, edge and soul'.[30] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine gave it 4 out of 5 stars and commended Sullivan for her lyrical honesty and musical range.[27]The Washington Post's Allison Stewart described Fearless as 'a mix of awkward-but-novel devices (reggae beats, Daft Punk samples) and nakedly confessional songwriting' and called it 'a snappy, intensely human debut'.[29]
However, Entertainment Weekly's Simon Vozick-Levinson gave Fearless a C+ rating and described most of its music as 'schmaltzy pop-&-B'.[22] Giving the album 3 out of 5 stars, About.com's Mark Edward Nero viewed her vocals as 'generic and lack emotion or urgency' on some songs, but ultimately wrote that 'there are more hits than misses here'.[34] Nero lauded Sullivan's vocal performance and compared her songwriting to that of R&B musician Ne-Yo, writing 'due to both artists' talent for writing on-point, introspective lyrics. Like Ne-Yo, Jazmine has a knack for crafting intricate, deeply personal verses that make you feel at one with the singer. Even on the weaker songs on Fearless, the songwriting is still above par'.[34]USA Today's Steve Jones gave the album 3 out of 4 stars and wrote that she 'sings every word as if she means it'.[28]MusicOMH writer Michael Cragg praised Sullivan's vocal range and themes on the album, writing 'Sullivan has created a mature, engaging R&B album that doesn't rely solely on the usual tropes of sexuality, money and posturing. Instead, Fearless deals with real emotions sung in a way that convinces the listener she means every single word'.[31]Okayplayer's Jeff Harvey called it 'a well produced urban pop album' and wrote that Sullivan's voice 'carries a subtle tenderness that adds intriguing nuance'.[25] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times wrote favorably of Sullivan's performance and wrote 'Her sense of humor is her best asset. She doesn't have a huge, imposing voice, but she's versatile, dabbling in jazz and reggae phrasings with ease'.[35]

Contemporary R&B singer and songwriter Jazmine Sullivan spent several years learning the ropes of the music industry before she signed to J Records and became a Grammy-nominated recording artist. The Philadelphia native started her career at a young age. Dj khaled shining download. At the age of 11, she made her national television debut on Showtime at the Apollo, and signing to Jive Records at age 15. Her stint at Jive lasted only a couple years, however, and she was dropped by the label before any recordings were released. In the wake of this disappointment, Sullivan worked behind the scenes, for instance working with Missy Elliott on productions for Fantasia's debut album, Free Yourself (2004), and writing a couple songs for Christina Milian's third album, So Amazin' (2006), including the hit single 'Say I.'
Sullivan was then offered a solo recording contract with J, which in 2008 released her debut single, 'Need U Bad.' Featuring and co-produced by Missy Elliott, the song topped Billboard's R&B/hip-hop chart. Fearless, her debut album, featuring productions by Salaam Remi and Stargate, among others, was issued that September. It topped the R&B/hip-hop chart and crossed over to reach number six on the Billboard 200, aided by 'Bust Your Windows' and 'Lions, Tigers & Bears' -- both of which went into the Top Ten of the R&B chart. Sullivan followed it up in November 2010 with Love Me Back, previewed with 'Holding You Down (Goin' in Circles),' yet another Top Ten R&B/hip-hop hit.
Despite an impressive total of 11 Grammy nominations for her work as a vocalist and songwriter, Sullivan was frustrated with the industry and announced in 2011 that she was leaving it. However, she was eventually drawn back. In 2014, 'Dumb' (featuring Meek Mill), 'Forever Don't Last,' and 'Mascara' were released as the first singles from her third album, Reality Show. The set was issued the following January and led to three more Grammy nominations, including one for Best R&B Album. Sullivan continued to assist other artists, as heard on Frank Ocean's Endless, Mali Music's The Transition of Mali, and Mary J. Blige's Strength of a Woman. In 2017, she and Bryson Tiller contributed 'Insecure' to Issa Rae's HBO series of the same title. ~ Jason Birchmeier
