Jazmine Sullivan - I Need U Bad
Producer: Missy Elliot and Lamb
Album: TBD
Label: J/RMG
As the newest R&B singer to sign with J Records, 21-year old Jazmine Sullivan has quite the summer ahead of her. Going with the typical ‘pining over a lost love’ ballad route, the Philadelphia songbird quickly turns her regret into resolve, telling her ex-man “I Need U Bad.” In Sullivan’s corner is the iconic Missy Elliot, who delivers a smooth, relaxing beat that is similar to past work with Monica, Mya, and Keyshia Cole among many others. As the summer heats up, I Need U Bad might just be the perfect remedy for a frosty, bitter relationship hiccup. Check back in July to see if this one produces some fireworks…

A solid roots reggae beat on this song. I can definitely blast this track during the summer while tipping back some Red Stripe. I can't get Lauren Hill out of my mind when I listen to this song, I don't know why. I would never expect a production like this from Missy. Big up to Missy for this tune.

If you’re into reggae (feelin that bassline in your chest), you’ll love this. If you’re not, then it should make you become. It’s interesting actually that A_NAY mentions the CHORUS as the best part, cuz that’s exactly what you’ll like the most if you’re also not into reggae: it suddenly turns into a regular R&B joint. I’m IMPRESSED with the production coming from Missy Elliot! Very good and complex, but maybe the transition from verses to chorus could be less abrupt (some instruments come in, some go out and you can hear a vacuum, like out of place for a second). Jazmine’s voice is distinctive, NICE VOCALS! Melody and lyrics are a PLEASURE TO LISTEN.

I love the musical change in direction in this song and definitely am feeling her powerful and mature sounding voice. Philly be putting out some real soulful singers. Always have to give a lil extra for singers that write their own material and lets be real she's a banger too.

Official track. Missy killed the chorus part of the beat. The overall beat has been reused many times. |
