Rumor has it that Jazmine Sullivan may release a new self-titled album, her fourth, in 2017.
But meanwhile, Jazmine is still riding high on her third album, Reality Show, which dropped a little over two years ago via RCA Records. The Philadelphia contralto has a few concert dates on the calendar, including a stop at The Fillmore Silver Spring on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14.
Jazmine refreshed her presence on the charts with Reality Show, which hit #1 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. The album produced three memorable singles, including “Dumb,” “Forever Don’t Last,” and “Let It Burn.”

Jazmine was the primary songwriter on the 12 tracks of Reality Show, and she also served as executive producer. Pitchfork applauded the results.
“Her voice is one of R&B’s best instruments. There’s a slight grain to one frequency, like a stripe of prematurely grey hair, which gives her vocals an immediately recognizable character and resonates with her stories of hard-won wisdom,” wrote Pitchfork’s David Drake.
