Jai Paul
“Jasmine” (Demo)
From Upcoming Release on XL

Somebody forgot to tell soulful British crooner Jai Paul that this is the Internet age, and if you are a young artist with a bit of buzz, you are supposed to release new tracks music about every 3.6 seconds. It’s hard to believe that it’s taken Paul nearly two years to follow up on the buzz from his unfuckwitable (see what I’ve done there?) breakthrough single “BTSU” (which was actually written all the way back in 2007), but the wait was certainly worth it. “Jasmine” is a moody, groovy slow burner that comes as a less robotic take on Daft Punk’s classic “Something About Us.” Above anything, it shows that the enigmatic vocalist is no one-trick pony, and hopefully 2012 will be the year that we finally get to hear a full-length from him.
