Soulful songstress Jazmine Sullivan will release her sophomore effort on September 28th, according to Amazon’s latest listings. Tentatively titled ‘Love Me Back’, the album – the follow-up to 2008’s ‘Fearless’, is preceded by the Missy Elliott produced single ‘Holding You Down’.
With no video in sight for ‘Holding You Down’, and promotional efforts still in their earliest stages, I can’t help but think that the date is subject to change. Regardless, I’m more than amped for the album. After Jazmine’s was unceremoniously shut-out at last year’s Grammy’s (five nominations, no wins), we are – as I’m sure she is too – eager to see her achieve the success she deserves. Roll on September….
IM READDDDDDYYYYYYYY BABE!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSS!!!!!
I smell a another push back by a different artist. What is wrong with these girls? Beyonce takes a break and these flop h*** refuse to take advantage of it.
Where the f*** is Fantasia and her promote? I smell another push back from her.

Holding You Down is such a tune, I think she’s gonna come hard so I’m also amped to hear her new material
PEOPLE CAN SAY WTF THEY WANT. LOL
THIS GIRL CAN SING AND I LOVE HER SONGS AND ALBUMS!
This girl can sang! Get her away from Missy tho ASAP…Missy is horrible at handling others careers(Tweet, Lil Mo)…
Love this song! She is so talented, even though I hate when she strains..which is pretty much 95% of the time.
Love Jasmine but this will probably get pushback to October…we almost in August and the single has not charted yet…but i will pick up the album when it drops!
Me can’t wait 🙂
love jaz she is so talented,and she philly too yay lol
*reaching out to U*
So I know this comment is random but I’m coming to the readers of that grapejuice for sum help. I recently went through a horrible break up with my ex and I’m still hurting over it. He’s now with sumone new.and it’s killing me…
but music is my outlet; my medicine and that’s why I’m coming to the readers of TGJ, because over the last 2 years of coming to this site daily I’ve learned that you readers have and amazing knowledge of different music and genres. So I need sum good new music to help me overcome this heartbreak. I need new songs of encouragement, empowerment (in the vein of “i will survive”). Right now my ipod is filled with nothing but love songs 🙁 .
so I wanna thank you for reading and thank you in advance for ur help. I could really use it <3
Jazmine Sullivan is one of the best artists to come out in a while. She is an excellent writter (monica’s Everything to me) and a good vocalist. Missy isn’t handling her career @ C…she’s just a producer…and her a&r. Its Clive Davis who we have to get her away from. I mean his only real concerns are Whitney and Alicia…with the occasional consideration given to Jennifer Hudson. All other artists on J Records are gonna do gold and then fall off.
@phatmat44, try these:
You Oughta Know; You Learn- Alanis Morissette

Why Don’t You Love Me; Green Light; Irreplaceable; Kitty Kat; Me, Myself & I- Beyonce
A Woman’s Worth- Alicia Keys
Respect; Do Right Woman, Do Right Man; Look Into Your Heart- Aretha Franklin
Young Hearts Run Free- Candi Staton
Jesus Is Love- The Commodores
Hopeless- Dionne Farris
Don’t Cry For Me; I Cried My Last Tear; All Woman- Lisa Stansfield
Not Gonna Cry No More- Mary J. Blige
@phatmat44:
BTW, most of the songs on my list are self-explanatory, however you have to listen to “Green Light” and “Kitty Kat” carefully to get the message. In “Green Light” the man is not doing the things he use to do and acts like he want to leave her, so she gives him the ‘green light’ to go ahead and leave, stating “ain’t no problem you can go, I will find somebody else, so why not move along.” In “Kitty Kat” the man is taking her for granted– leaving her home alone at night and not returning calls, so she (along w/her ‘Kitty Kat’) decides to take matters into her own hands and leave him. These are two fun, simple songs w/an ‘it’s over, but things will be ok’ type message from Beyonce’s B-day album.
@phatmat44
IMO This is the best song to get over a breakup!!!
Mya ‘s “If You Died I Wouldn’t Cry Cause You Never Loved Me Anyway “
CANNOT WAIT!!!! for this album. love jazmine.
I can’t wait for Jazmine too come out her last album should have won at least one of them grammys’s
Jazmine is an amazing talent,I hope she receives recognition for
her talent. Unlike , some other artists she can actually sing and is
not just another beautiful stage prop.
I look forward to it.
For the dumb ass that said the song hasn’t charted yet, the song is at #46 on the R&B/Hip Hop songs chart.
