Ones To Watch in 2012: Yasmin


Yasmin is someone I've kind of been sitting on for a while, then with all of my laziness and blog inactivity just sort of forgot to post about.  Man, am I sorry about that now! I'm right now, for the very first time, listening to Yasmin's new "old school, reggae infused carnival jam," "Light Up (The World)" featuring D'n'B/Jungle master Shy FX and the lovely Ms. Dynamite.  While I know the song has since been remixed by MJ Cole, the Freemasons and others no doubt, the original version of the song is simply beautiful! WOW!  

For those of you who don't know, Yasmin is really Yasmin Zarine Shahmir, a 23 year old DJ/Singer/Songwriter from England.  Signed to Levels Entertainment, an imprint of famed English dance label Ministry of Sound, she is a relative newcomer to the scene.  After completing a UK headlining tour with popular English rapper Example, Yasmin was given the opportunity to feature on a track by one of her co-openers, another English rapper called Devlin.  See, Yasmin had the privilege of opening alongside Devlin and a then little known singer/songwriter called Ed Sheeran.  Devlin's second single "Runaway," featuring Yasmin went top 20 on the Official UK Singles Chart, peaking at #15.  Now, with a small taste of chart success, Yasmin forged on with her own career, signing to Levels Entertainment and releasing her own solo single "On My Own" in January of 2011.  'On My Own" was a top 40 hit, peaking at #39 not to mention landing at #6 on the UK Indie chart.  In the Spring of 2011, Yasmin released a follow up single, the insanely catchy "Finish Line" which was produced by Labrinth.  Yasmin's sophomore single had considerably more success than it's predecessor, peaking at a respectable #13.

Freemasons and Sophie Ellis-Bextor Shooting a New Video

Sophie Ellis-Bextor According to Sophie Ellis-Bextor via her Twitter, "I have styling meeting next week for 'Heartbreak' video. What to wear?"

I'm thrilled that she's shooting a video for "Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)." Sophie is one of my favorite UK pop stars. She has teamed up with remixers/producers Freemasons on this track, which originally appeared on her official MySpace page along with a Calvin Harris-produced Off & On, (both since removed). It was rumored to be released as a single off of Sophie's planned Greatest Hits album. Plans for a Greatest Hits album were apparently put on hold but I'm hearing that she is instead working on new material for a brand new album, due out this summer. Fingers crossed!

Sophie Ellis-Bextor and FreemasonsThis song is a lot of fun. Electro-pop at it's best with Sophie's fantastic posh accent coming through. I love how you can really hear her accent when she sings. With a lot of artists you can't tell where they are from when they're singing.

Now I don't really consider Wikipedia a reliable resource, but according to the website "Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)" is being released to radio in the UK May 4th, digitally June 15 and on CD Single on June 22. It will also be released in the rest of Europe around this time, with a full CD Maxi with remixes (hopefully). Also according to Wikipedia, it has a release date in Australia of July 11th and a digital release in the US sometime in 2009. Hmmmm...too good to be true?
