Acclaimed R&B artist and storyteller, The one named Jasmine, has released her poignant new EP, Everything Is Not What It Seems. Across nine self-penned tracks, Jasmine constructs a powerful narrative of self-discovery, challenging the space between perception and reality with raw honesty and cinematic musicality.

From the defiant opener “Burn It All Down” to the triumphant closer “Champion,” the EP charts an emotional journey through heartbreak, resilience, and personal reclamation. Jasmine describes the project as “a collection of truths I uncovered when I stopped pretending things were okay.” This commitment to vulnerability defines the work, offering listeners an intimate look into the complexities of identity, relationships, and inner strength.

A standout track, “I’m Back With My Ex,” delves into the nuanced reality of an on-again, off-again relationship set against the backdrop of New York City. “Relationships are messy, they’re grey,” Jasmine explains. “Especially when your environment adds layers most people don’t understand and are quick to place judgement on.” The song pairs lush melodies with hard-hitting guitar, embodying the EP’s blend of soulful vocals and bold, genre-bending production.

Jasmine’s artistry has been evident since her teenage years, which included a notable performance at Carnegie Hall. That early promise has matured into a sound that is both tender and fiercely authentic. Drawing from lived experience, she weaves themes of pain, joy, and self-acceptance into music that resonates with emotional depth and relatability.

Everything Is Not What It Seems invites you to explore life’s grey areas, to interrogate one’s own truths, and to find strength in the process of becoming. It solidifies the one named Jasmine as a vital voice in contemporary R&B, unafraid to expose the fractures while guiding listeners toward light.
