“You broke my heart, so I broke your car.”

Today’s From The Vault pick comes courtesy of vocal powerhouse Jazmine Sullivan. This week’s selection is the break-up anthem ‘Bust Your Windows.’

The 2008 release was issued as Sullivan’s second single lifted from her debut album ‘Fearless.’ It relays the way a scorned-woman handles her love interest’s infidelity. And that is by trashing his well-beloved car.

Produced by Salaam Remi, the track peaked at #31 on the US Hot 100 and #4 on the R&B/Hip-Hop tally.

Its music video sees Jaz discover that her boyfriend had been cheating on her, then entering a rage which leads her to destroy all of his belongings, from his watches and wine glasses to his vinyl collection – though she never specifically busts his windows per se.

A year after its release, ‘Windows’ was covered on hit show ‘Glee’ by fellow vocal supernova Amber Riley. It was a true testament to the song’s impact and legacy as it wasn’t that many R&B songs featured on the Fox series.

From the onset, it was Jazmine’s storytelling abilities in her writing that set her apart from her peers… that and her undeniable gem of a voice.

With her latest project ‘Heaux Tales’ making waves, who knows what 2021 has in store for the artist.

All in all, it’s good to have you back, Ms. Sullivan.

Here’s good news for ‘Good Days’; the latest single from R&B diva SZA.

While her comeback tune, ‘Hit Different,’ didn’t exactly prove itself the hit needed to amplify buzz for her long-awaited sophomore album, the tune’s successor – ‘Good Days’ – is definitely a hitting (the charts) differently.

As if blasting to the top of Spotify and real-time R&B sales tallies wasn’t enough (as we reported here), the song cracked the Hot 100’s top 40 last week, marking the eighth visit of her career to the chart region.

This week, the song’s cracked the top 30 thanks to a 15-spot leap credited to a handsome mix of digital downloads, airplay at R&B radio, and streams.

Look inside to see how that combo helped mark a personal milestone for the GRAMMY nominee.
