Digital Domination: The Internet Catches Carmen’s ‘Cold’

Published: Monday 18th Aug 2014 by David

She may be unsigned and miles away from household name status, but it seems it’ll take a lot more than that to stop the exotic beauty that is Carmen from nabbing a budding hit with her brand new single ‘Cold.’

How ‘Vine’ is helping to turn this 21 year old’s into her R&B’s fastest rising newbie?

Details below…

Though yet to throw the jam on iTunes, Carmen finds word of her debut single’s arrival spreading through social media, with ‘Viners’-perhaps even unaware of her existence before hearing the jam- tributing to it with short six second performances.

Check ’em out below…



Also kept afloat by support thrown behind it by ‘Rhythmic’ stations across the country, the single’s surprisingly fast ascent to popularity comes as reliable word informs TGJ that a number of major labels have stressed interest in picking the performer up, with the singer reportedly now in the centre of a brewing bidding war.

Here’s hoping she has the vocal talent and work ethic to sustain it! After all, with a number of Janet and Ciara inspired girls running around, Carmen will be forced to deliver a whole lot more than a cute song and an even cuter face if she’s to enjoy a serious career in Pop music.

Does she have what it takes?

Weigh in below!

    She’s unsigned? Epic need to sign her.

    • SevynthHeaven August 14, 2014

      So that they can mess her around like they do Ciara? No, Atlantic are better because Sevyn and K are slaying there. Tamar needed two tv shows and an empty warehouse to sell 100k first week, don’t ever forget it.

    • Dev August 18, 2014

      I bet she’s already signed by Roc Nation as TGJ are already hyping her.

    • girl bye August 18, 2014

      L A Reid says he signs superstars. She doesn’t have an XFACTOR but I know she would get signed b/c she is lightskinned

      Pretty girl but it isn’t enough to be mixed and pretty.

    Janet actually has a little more vocal talent than Madonna. Also Janet and Madonna’s style in music are different. During Janet’s earlier career her music resembled her brother’s which involved pop with a rhythmic blues overlay. As Janet got older her music resembled more of own style which involved more jazzy, scatting sounds. Her love for Lena Horne really began to show in her music as she began to learn and know herself more. There are many pop artists whose sound resembles Madonna’s sound but there are not many, to be more specific, I can only think of a few whose sound comes close or similar to Janet’s sound. Janet was and still is one of a kind.
