Love is Pain and Pain is Love, and Jazmine Sullivans new single Need U Bad clearly defines that. A Philadelphia native and a new edition to the J Records roster, Jazmine isnt a newbie in the game. Now 21, shes been singing since age five and used to perform along side artists like Jill Scott, Floetry, and others years ago before they were famous as part of Phillys Black Lily weekly jam sessions.Jazmine has a very strong and mature voice, and in Need U Bad it bears a strong resemblance to a legendary artist that graced us with one solo studio album circa 1998. Can you guess who that is? Ill let you marinate on that. When hearing the chorus of Need U Bad it hits you deep inside. If youve ever been in love and lost, it takes you back to that moment when you desired your former lover. See the chorus below:Boy I need you bad as a heartbeat, (bad like the food I eat) Bad like the air I breath, (baby I want you bad) I need you bad I cant take this pain, (bad I cant take this pain) Boy Im bout to go insane (baby I need you bad) Cause I need you, I need you, What I gotta do (baby I want you bad) I need you, I need you, Do it all for you (baby I need you)Need U Bad has a very unique sound for radio; it has a reggae tinge and original sound that stands out among the rest. For her upcoming album, Jazmine has worked with the Missy Elliot, Lamb, Salaam Remi, Jack Splash, Tricky, Stargate and Wyclef Jean. After hearing this new single and seeing who shes collaborated with, I think its safe to say that Jazmines future looks very bright.Until next week, yall enjoy this weeks Sunday Selection Need U Bad:
