Bust Your Windows is blowing up like I said it would, ain’t it?
Here’s a Q&A from Rhapsody:
Jazmine Sullivan - protégé of Missy Elliott, endorsed by Stevie Wonder - is quite the storyteller. Her debut album, Fearless, embodies the kind of emotional schizophrenia that good, juicy R&B albums are made of, taking on different personae and sounds throughout: vamp, victim, victor, retro, nouveau and pop. Philly born and bred, Sullivan comes from a place where soul comes naturally. In her earlier days, the up-and-comer performed at the venue - Philly’s Black Lily - where artists like Jill Scott and Musiq Soulchild were, at the time, still making a name for themselves. She’s worked behind the scenes, singing backup vocals and penning songs. And she’s even bounced back from label drama. Her Missy-assisted breakthrough single “Need U Bad” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. At only 21, Sullivan has proved once and again that she’s got the chops. Earlier this month, Rhapsody had the chance to catch up with Sullivan at Radio City Music Hall, prepping for her second night on tour with Maxwell. Here, she speaks on Missy-as-inspiration, the craftsmanship behind Fearless, and “Bust Your Windows”-style methods of revenge.
