Kdot Introducing – Jasmin Kora

This week for Kdot Introducing, we are pleased to introduce Jasmin Kora. A talented bubbling singer/songwriter, who dabbles in the fusion of a pop/urban sound. Under the wings of Helicopta Records, her current promo track ‘Electrifying’ which features M-Tidda (Ellis) currently holds the 12th spot in Music Week’s Urban Top 30 and is still rising – it is impressive to see it rising at a rapid pace but not unexpected. The futuristic urban sound is starting to create a nice viral buzz. Have a listen below.

Remixes are going to be a joy for any DJ or producer, as her music fits perfect for some seriously good remixes such as the drum n’ bass remix of ‘Electrifying’. We have this track on heavy rotation at the office! Make sure when you play it you play it at high volume!

Jasmin’s debut single ‘Cinderella’ (our personal favorite) and her up coming EP is said to showcase her sound develop and we can see this from ‘Cinderella’. The track has a catchy and infectious sound that honestly urges you to want to bop your head to the beat. Something we feel is a brilliant choice to release into the commercial charts. It does resemble a bit of Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ track and we saw where that reached in the charts! So expect no less from ‘Cinderella’. Have a listen to it below.

Some will argue that the use of auto tune over her vocals is a bit over used or outdated..however it is fitting to her sound and style. I think the important thing about it is that it works and Jasmin is able to use it to her advantage and the results prove this.

One of her strengths is being able to write strong sounding hooks which is important in a song as its the main chunk that grasps listeners. Not many artists can do this, which is why they tend to source hooks from other artists/writers – but Jasmin has this on point. A talent that takes a lot of thought and skill with words.

Her new sound is not to be overlooked – it looks like we are going to be hearing a lot more from Jasmin in 2012 so be sure to watch out for her.
