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. I really do.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. Obviously, a lot of people feel that way about someone like her. The re-release of the challenge contained new songs in addition to contributions together with a spoken interlude by Insecure creator Issa Rae. “I feel like I never really got my moment with her. In February 2022, Sullivan constructed on Heaux Tales‘ success by releasing a deluxe edition of the project, Heaux Tales, Mo’ Tales: The Deluxe. I was blown away, in my feelings, everything, at the fact that she even knew me and stood up and was giving me love in that way,” Sullivan continued.
She was like the only person standing up.
“I did one of the BET (special) shows and I had sang and Whitney was in the front seat and she stood up when I sang. She was like, ‘Oh, I can get her on the phone right now.’ She got her on the phone, and I spoke to Whitney and I literally lost it.”
“I actually went out to dinner with Kim Burrell, who’s a gospel singer and one of my musical inspirations, and she was telling me about Whitney. “I had just heard that story that Missy told on (Twitter) through (Twitter) because she did not tell me that! I was just as shocked to hear it as everybody else was,” Sullivan said, laughing. Months ago Missy Elliott tweeted that she played a song Sullivan sang at age 15 for Houston, and the icon was so impressed she asked to see Sullivan’s birth certificate. One of Sullivan’s idols, Whitney Houston, has arguably the best performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at a Super Bowl game. Sullivan said she’s a big fan of Houston’s version, and she recently learned that Houston was a fan of hers. “I’m looking forward to seeing what happens after that.” I’ma go there and do my thing and be myself and sing the anthem the way I want to, the way I feel it in my spirit,” she continued. “But I’m ready to take it and do my thing. The 33-year-old singer known for her strong vocals and piercing lyrics added that she’s not just thrilled to perform at the Super Bowl, she feels “so blessed, I’m still shocked, I don’t really know how I got this opportunity.” “The fact that I’m able to be on the biggest stage you can be on - this is an amazing thing to experience with them.” They have supported me in this industry for so long,” said Sullivan, who was born and raised in Philadelphia. “My mom and my dad are going to go with me. For Sullivan, a 12-time Grammy nominee who released her debut album in 2008, the big game will be a family affair.
