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." Her stint at Jive lasted only a couple years, however, and she was dropped by the label before any recordings were released. At the age of 11, she made her national television debut on Showtime at the Apollo, and signing to Jive Records at age 15. The Philadelphia native started her career at a young age. When she lays into tunes about everywoman trials (the disco-tinged “Stanley,” the soulful “Silver Lining,” and the sinister “#Hoodlove”), Reality Show is equally gritty and gratifying.Ĭontemporary 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. We’ve always known the Philly musician is a talented singer-her agile vocal fireworks light up tunes like "Mascara” and “Masterpiece (Mona Lisa)”-but Reality Show is a huge artistic leap forward due to Sullivan’s gutsy songwriting. After a five-year retreat from the spotlight, Jazmine Sullivan returns with poised authority on Reality Show, her third full-length collection of perceptive, emotionally raw R&B.
