Sullivan began working on her second album, Love Me Back, in 2009.[43] Producers contributing to the album included Missy Elliott,[44] Lamb, Ne-Yo, Anthony Bell, Los da Mystro, Ryan Leslie, and Salaam Remi,[45] who was also a major contributor to Fearless.

In an interview with National Public Radio, Sullivan explained that the album was about her personal experiences, stating:[48]

"It's very therapeutic for me at times to just sit down and write lyrics and music, As I look at all of the songs that I've written, I see now that some of them have been a little too personal. When I was younger, I was very quick to react. 'Bust Your Windows' shows that part of me, but now I feel like I'll think about my reaction and take my time, and react 10 seconds later, I live life and it gives me the material to write for the next album."

The album's lead single, "Holding You Down (Goin' in Circles)", was released on July 10, 2010.[49] The song debuted at number 60 on the Billboard Hot 100.[50] The music video for the song premiered on August 30, 2010.[51] The song would later be nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 2011.

In early December 2010, Billboard honoured Sullivan as the 'Rising Star' for 2010.[55] She later announced that she was working on her third studio album.[56]

2011–present: Hiatus and Reality Show

In January 2011, Sullivan announced via Twitter that she was indefinitely leaving the music industry saying, "I promised myself when it wasn't fun anymore I wouldn't do it. And, here I am. I'm not saying I won't ever sing again in my life because I don't believe that. But in this moment… right now… [I] got some things to figure out".[57] On October 7, RCA Records announced it was disbanding J Records along with Arista Records and Jive Records. With the shutdown, Sullivan (and all other artists previously signed to these three labels) were removed the label and later redirected to RCA.[58][59]

In 2014, she returned to music with the announcement of her new album, Reality Show. In an interview with Billboard, Sullivan described her return as inevitable, saying she "...can't escape [her] calling".[60] She based Reality Show on watching reality shows during her hiatus which inspired the namesake. The album consists of 14 songs, and features production from Key Wane and Salaam Remi.[60] The lead single "Dumb", featuring American rapper Meek Mill, was released on May 12, 2014.[61][62] The song debuted at number 45 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay.[63] The second single "Forever Don't Last" was released on September 16, 2014.[64] It debuted at number 10 on the Adult R&B Songs.[65]

On January 13, 2015, Jazmine Sullivan released Reality Show to widespread critical acclaim, with the album reaching #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums and #2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.[66] Reality Show sold 30,000 copies in its first week. Slant Magazine commented, "Despite what the rasp in her voice might suggest, Sullivan clearly sees herself as something other than R&B's next great queen of pain. Her central themes—love and self-image—don't stray far from genre convention, but her musical versatility and keenly observed characters make her one of the most captivating artists in R&B today."[67] The album earned Sullivan three Grammy Award nominations for Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best R&B Album.[68]

In 2016, Sullivan was featured in the visual album "Endless" by Frank Ocean.[69][70] Sullivan lent her vocals to four songs from the album: "Alabama", "Wither", "Hublots", and "Rushes". Sullivan was the lead writer for these four songs on Mary J. Blige's album Strength of a Woman, and sang backup vocals on the first three of them: "Thick of It", "Set Me Free", "Glow Up", and "Thank You." ("Strength of a Woman" album liner notes).[71] She in partnership with fellow American singer Bryson Tiller released "Insecure" for the soundtrack for the second season of the HBO series of the same title.[72]

In 2019, Sullivan was featured on Pentatonix’s Christmas collection The Best of Pentatonix Christmas on the group’s cover of “Joyful, Joyful”.

Musical style and artistry

Sonically, Sullivan's voice alternates between "modern productions" and a "1980s-influenced sound" which music critics say gives her "old-school hip hop sound".[73][74] Her vocal range is identified as mezzo-soprano.[75] Her voice has a solid agility in all registers and is well connected between an A2 and a G5. InStyle said that she has a "raspy voice".[76] She describes her writing style as "flashbacks", in reference to her songs about failed relationships that were both physically and emotionally abusive.[77][78] Her music displays her responses to these relationships famously with her song "Bust Your Windows".[79] She likes to write about how she is feeling, which in turn, taking a day or up to a month to complete.[80] During the recording of the album Reality Show, Sullivan spent so much time revising and re-recording, that the producers had to force her to release the album to prevent a delayed release.[81] Sullivan is well known for writing her own songs which amplifies her universal critical acclaim from critics and fans.[82]

Awards and achievements

At the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009, Sullivan was nominated for awards in the categories of Best New Artist, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best Traditional R&B Performance, Best R&B Song and Best Contemporary R&B Album.[83][84] The success of her debut album Fearless saw Sullivan nominated for three BET Awards in the categories of Best New Artist, Best Female R&B Artist and the Centric Award, but only winning the Centric Award.[85][86] She was also nominated for the Outstanding New Artist award at the NAACP Image Awards.[87][88][89]

At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, Sullivan was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song for her song, "Lions, Tigers & Bears".[90] In 2010, Sullivan won the Rising Star award at the Billboard Women in Music.[91][92][93][94] At the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards, "Holding You Down (Goin' in Circles)", the lead single from her second studio album Love Me Back, earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 2011.[95] Released in 2015, Sullivan's third album, Reality Show, sold thirty thousand copies in the first week.[96] Reality Show earned her three Grammy nominations and two NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Female Artist and Outstanding Song for "Let It Burn".[97][98][99]

At the 49th NAACP Image Awards, Sullivan was nominated for Outstanding Song for "Insecure", a song that she and Bryson Tiller collaborated on for the soundtrack of the second season of the HBO series of the same name.[100] Sullivan's most notable song "Bust Your Windows" was listed at number 137 on National Public Radio's list of The 200 Greatest Songs By 21st Century Women.[5]

Personal life

On May 11, 2020, Sullivan announced that her mother Pam had been diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer in October 2019.[101][102] In the Instagram post, she wrote: "If being your daughter has taught me one thing it is how to work w something ugly, painful even, and make it a work of art," she says in dedication to her mom. "So that’s what We’ve been doing since October. Trying to make beauty of this ugliness. And to watch u handle urself [sp] with such grace, wisdom, strength and empathy for others while going through the toughest time in ur life has been the most beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed."[101]
