iTunes single of the week: Jazmine Sullivan "Need U Bad"

This week's free single comes from 21-year-old Philly singer Jazmine Sullivan.

The song is "Need U Bad" and while I hate the use of instant messenger/text messaging lingo in song titles, the song is actually pretty good. It mixes a little reggae vibe with modern R&B production to create a compelling sound.

Jazmine's voice stands front and center and is more soulful sounding than her 21 years. The melody on the verses is more reggae while the chorus pivots to catchy hook that sounds more like modern R&B.

It's a good track that I recommend if you like R&B/soul.
