Spankin' New Artist: Jazmine Sullivan

Meet 21-year-old Jazmine Sullivan-- my new favorite... This funky soul diva hails all the way from Philly, Pennsylvania. She might be new to you, but she is already an industry veteran. Sullivan has penned songs for the likes of Christina Milian ("Say I"), and has sung back-up vocals on Missy's up-coming album. The soon-to-be-titled debut album by Sullivan will be released soon via J Records. Her new single titled, "Need U Bad" featuring Missy Elliot, is a reggae-tinged soul anthem that is already burning up the charts. When you hear Sullivan's sultry voice, you think of vintage Lauryn Hill, mixed with a splash of Jennifer Hudson, mixed well with Sullivan's own signature sound. Her fourth-coming LP includes production by legends such as: Wyclef Jean, Tricky, Salaam Remi, Stargate and many more.

Now y'all know if I'm co-signing this, homegirl must be official... And she is! Talented and beautiful, Sullivan is a new force to be reckoned with! You can check her out on her Myspace Page. Look out for an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with the star coming to CCW soon. In the meantime, check out the official video of Jazmine's new single featuring Missy. Watch:
